This page is located within: Optometrists Network add-adhd.org Printer-friendly Version Every year the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities (NICHCY) receives thousands of requests for information about the education and special needs of children and youth with Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADHD, ADD/ADHD). Over the past several years, ADD or A.D.D. (ADHD, ADD/ADHD) has received a tremendous amount of attention from parents, professionals, and policymakers across the country - so much so, in fact, that nearly everyone has now heard about ADD or A.D.D.. While helpful to those challenged by this disability, such widespread recognition creates the possibility of improper diagnostic practice and inappropriate treatment. Now, more than ever, parents who suspect their child might have ADHD (A.D.D., ADD/ADHD, ADD-ADHD, A.D.D.) and parents of children diagnosed with the disorder need to evaluate information, products, and practitioners carefully. This NICHCY Briefing Paper is intended to serve as a guide to help parents and educators know what ADHD (A.D.D., ADD/ADHD, ADD-ADHD, A.D.D.) is, what to look for, and what to do. While acknowledging that adults, too, can have ADHD (ADD/ADHD, ADD-ADHD, A.D.D.), this paper focuses on the disorder as it relates to children and youth. What is Attention-Deficit Disorder?

Back to Top Excessive TV viewing at a young age may play a role in ADD If you found this site while doing a web search for information on ADD or ADHD, this perhaps surprising source may prove helpful. LimiTV does not have a medical answer for you, so be sure to discuss the following information with your child's doctor if medical treatment or medication has been recommended for your child. But, we do have some suggestions. We believe there's enough research to suggest that eliminating or minimizing TV viewing by children under five will lessen the chance he or she will develop ADD or ADHD. Research findings on attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) can, of course, be found in the medical literature. But a companion line of research exists outside this strictly medical community. This work, extending back over decades, finds that the frenetic pace of television, the rapidly-changing sound and images, may overwhelm the nervous system of some young children and lead to hyperactive behavior and attention deficits.

Primary Schoolers ADD Or ADHD Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) ADHD is generally considered to be a neurochemical disorder with behavioural manifestations It's now understood children have two main problems inattention - not paying attention impulsiveness - doing things without thinking. It affects about one in 20 children and boys are more likely to have it than girls. We all have times when we don't 'hear' people around us or don't pay attention. We might be reading a great book, watching an exciting game on TV or thinking about a problem. Children might not hear because they are distracted by lights, sounds and things around them. They are curious. They want to investigate. Other children may be worried about something, depressed or sad. Some children have more of a problem. They do silly, dangerous things, can't sit still or concentrate on anything for more than a minute. Their brains actually work in a different way. They may not be able to filter sounds or sights or smells and but are aware of everything around them.

ADD of ADHD? Wat zijn de verschillen... ADHD is een zeer complexe aandoening, en niet alle personen met ADHD hebben dezelfde symptomen.

Mensen (hoewel, in DSM-IV) wordt alleen nog maar over kinderen gesproken) met ADHD kunnen enkel concentratieproblemen hebben (ADD), ze kunnen een vorm hebben waarbij hyperactiviteit en impulsiviteit het meest kenmerkend zijn of ze kunnen een combinatievorm beide soorten hebben. 1. ADD, het type met alleen concentratieproblemen Volgens DSM-IV zijn de kenmerken van het type met concentratieproblemen: snel afgeleid zijn door irrelevante dingen en geluiden; moeite hebben met plannen en organiseren; problemen hebben met taken afmaken en deadlines halen; falen in het concentreren op details en hierdoor slordige fouten maken; zelden instructies nauwkeurig en compleet opvolgen; verliezen of vergeten van dingen als sleutels, portemonnee, reisdocumenten en spullen die nodig zijn om een taak uit te voeren. 2.
