A recent study by the National Institute of Health has reached a surprising conclusion about ADHD. Although ADHD is most evident in the beginning of the school itself - when lack of impulse control and attention capacity prevents a kindergarten or first grade to sit still long enough to listen, even what assignment is - it is an obstacle to high school. This is because the developmental delay experienced by children with "significant", "deep" or "severe" ADHD was established as a delay of up to thirty percent.
This means that for a period of five years, the period is about 1.5 years - without outside help, ADHD learn at the age of 3.5 years, 5 years. But for a 15-year-old 30% the same results as a four and half year delay. So at 15 years with ADHD learn and 10.5 years of age. That's the difference between "just started high school" and "just finishing elementary school."
ADHD in school students
9 out of 10 children with ADD (inattentive 'variation), hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD (the "combined" form) will have trouble academically. Each child is unique, but almost all children diagnosed with some type of ADHD have one or more of these problems in high school:
• Spacing: The most common problem that teens with ADHD is their tendency to simply daydream the time away, lack of crucial events as the division of labor, the content of a conference, or instructions for the next activity.
• Lack of attention to detail: Very common too: the tendency to leave out important details of an assignment. Teachers who refuse to classify a job that has no name and / or date, for example, can be very difficult for students with ADHD. Similarly, any question, where every detail counts - algebra, for example, or grammar - can be almost impossible for a brain has trouble realizing that no data at all, let alone keep track of what everyone the world they are.
• impulse control: Adolescents are likely to have this problem in the form of shortcuts, without showing their work (especially in mathematics) and to hate writing (it takes too long when you could write!).
• Poor organization / time management skills: Adolescents with ADHD are known for their inability to delay gratification; who want to do interesting things, and then get to work part later ... that is often not say. They often do not know where to start on tasks that are not presented in detail and mostly do not provide for the Future.
• Improper Storage: store such as multiplication tables and in particular the names and dates (the history of class) is very difficult for a teen with ADHD. This same effect often means ADHD in adolescents just forget that the class is supposed to come later, or simply forget to turn in your homework.
Dealing with problems
The best way to address these issues, unfortunately, most often with pharmaceutical medicine. As much as we'd all like to be able to solve the problems of our children with less artificial forms of intervention, no standard procedures have a success rate anywhere near that of pharmaceuticals.
