Almost all of these behaviors, however, might be found in bright, talented, creative, gifted children. Until now, little attention has been given to the similarities and differences between the two groups, thus raising the potential for misidentification in both areas-giftedness and ADHD. This digest provides specific differences between the two groups that will help parents and educators better understand and evaluate their children.

Learning Disabilities (LD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) What is a learning disability? LD is a disorder that affects people's ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. These limitations can show up in many ways: as specific difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self control, or attention. Such difficulties extend to schoolwork and can impede learning to read, write, or do math. For more general information on learning disabilities, please visit LD In-General in our LD In-Depth section. [Source: National Institutes of Health, 1993] What are the types of learning disabilities? LD is a broad term that covers a pool of possible causes, symptoms, treatments, and outcomes.

ADD and ADHD Welcome to FDISK's ADD/ADHD page. For the uninitiated ADD is the abreviation for Attention Deficit Disorder, a poorly named disorder that affects roughly 5% of the American population. I believe ADD is an improper name because of the word "deficit." A better name would be Inconsistent Attention Disorderthe reason becomes apparent when you read the description. Dave sent over another unique name, "Actively, Divinely, Different." I like it, but I generally don't feel divine so I can't say it really describes me... ADD can be roughly described as "a neurological syndrome that is usually genetically transmitted [and can be] characterized by distractibility, impulsivity[,] restlessness" and the ability to hyperfocus. The "H" in ADHD stands for Hyperactivity which is often found in people with ADD. It is still becoming understood and is a topic of considerable debate. Some feel that the diagnosis of ADD or ADHD is a cop out or farce. They say that everyone has these symptoms and that we are giving people an excuse for poor behavior. What those people are missing, however, is that the average ADD person doesn't want an excuse. They just want to be able to function better. Other people feel that ADD is the yuppie flu of the 90'sThe age of technology at the speed of light has created a race of distracted, impatient people. Well, in 1975 I was labled by doctors with the term "hyperactive." ADD wasn't well known then, but they knew my behavior wasn't normal. I was the classic ADD case..all before it became the popular "catch all diagnosis" that disbelievers seem to think it is.

14. July Education Reporter -- Focus: Reading, Writing, ’Rithmetic, And Ritalin Offers a challenging view of the so called 'disease' status of add and adhd. http://www.eagleforum.org/educate/1996/july96/focus.html

FOCUS: Reading, Writing, ’Rithmetic, and Ritalin Can it be a disease if no X-ray, CT scan, blood test, laboratory analysis, MRI, or any other medical test can confirm its existence? Can it be a disease if diagnosis can be made by a non-physician checking any 8 of 14 items on a behavior checklist such as inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, or short attention span? Yet, an estimated two million children (three times as many boys as girls) have been labeled with this disease and are taking a powerful drug to treat it. That's four times as many as in 1990. The disease is Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and the most widely used drug to treat it is methylphenidate, known as Ritalin. A powerful stimulant, it juices up the central nervous system, takes effect in 30 minutes, and peters out in three to four hours. Ritalin is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in the same category as cocaine, methadone and methamphetamine. In 1991 the U.S. Department of Education formally recognized ADHD as a handicap under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. After the Department directed all state education officers to ensure that local school districts establish procedures to screen and identify ADHD children and give them special educational and psychological services, generous funding suddenly began to flow.

When people ask me about this, I tell them that I can only answer for the children and adults that I have evaluated or treated. Yes, there probably are some individuals who have received medication when some other treatment might have been better. On the other hand, there are probably others who were not been diagnosed for years and could have benefited from medication. Finally, even if someone has attention deficit disorder (ADHD) and is on medication, is it the best medication, dosage and timing?

16. Classroom Strategy For Students With ADD And ADHD Students with ADD/ADHD require more time and attention to stay ontask and focused. Classroom strategy for students with add and adhd. http://allsands.com/Kids/addadhdclass_rei_gn.htm

Classroom strategy for students with ADD and ADHD Regular education and special education teachers are challenged daily to maintain the attention and compliance of a few, shall we say, spirited children. The garden variety of attention deficit disorder is not one of misbehavior per se. These students wear a label that wrongly denotes an inability to attend to structured classroom activities. What these kids have is NOT a short attention span, but a hypersensitivity to ALL stimuli. They turn their heads like little cows at the slightest sound, movement, or visual distraction within their stimulus range, which is usually a five mile radius. EVERYHING is interesting to them. They LOVE lights, buzzers, buttons, motion, talking, playing, fiddling, building, and daydreaming. Daydreaming is the biggie, too. Kids can go for a ride in their own cerebral fantasyland faster than you can say Mickey Mouse. They crave excitement and action. Their brains are on hyperactive overdrive, and they cannot help it. bodyOffer(1058) They still have to do their spelling. They still need to finish the math test. What can be done to keep the teacher¡¦s hair intact while motivating Mr. or Miss Wiggleworm to stay focused on the lesson and complete the assignments? The answer lies in simple reinforcement. All students love getting something. They don¡¦t care what it is, either. It makes them feel special, and when they feel special they will do back flips for their teacher. Well, sometimes they will. They are consistently inconsistent.

Information on ADD and ADHD Some definite standards have been set to diagnosis ADD and ADHD. Learn what these standards are and how to understand if your child might have this disability. There is a growing concern today that some children are being improperly diagnosed as having ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Another concern is that there are also several other children who have ADHD but yet have never been diagnosed. bodyOffer(32201) The DSM-IV lists specific signs of hyperactivity, inattention and impulsive behaviors which professionals should look for before pronouncing a diagnosis upon a child as being ADHD. Now, children who qualify for such a diagnosis must show six of the nine behaviors that are indicated within this report, and these symptoms must have been observed within at least two different settings. For instance, the behaviors must be occurring both at home and at school, for a period of at least six continuous months. The report also states that these behaviors must also be imperative unto the child, either academically or socially. Some of the behaviors which would fit into the description within each of these categories include: Hyperactivity: The child will often talk excessively or leave his or her seat at times when remaining seated is expected of them.
