ADHD |
“Researchers have not identified a
primary cause of ADHD. They believe that it is probably related to a
combination of biology, genetics, and the student’s environment” (Powell &
Driver, 2013, Section 5.4). While you may encounter very young children
who exhibit behaviors similar to the characteristics of ADHD, it is unlikely
that they will be specifically diagnosed with ADHD. However, when working
with school-aged children, it is more likely that you will encounter students
who have been diagnosed with ADHD because “ADHD affects approximately 3-10% of
school-age students” (Powell & Driver, 2013, Section 5.1). For this
reason, it is important to understand this condition in order to have a plan of
action should you or a parent suspect ADHD, and to know how to support those
children who do. For this discussion post, you will create an information
sheet that can be given to a new teacher explaining ADHD in the
classroom. It can include pictures, but it must include information
regarding:
a. All three types of ADHD
b. The possible causes (you must include
information regarding each possible cause: biology, genetics and environment)
c. The importance of a medical diagnosis
and why
d. Possible signs and symptoms
e. The IDEA category it fits under
f. How IEP or 504 plans can help a child
with ADHD in the classroom
·
To show this, provide an example of a student diagnosed with ADHD along
with the proposed solution. This can be an actual child you know (just be
sure to exclude the child’s real name) or it can be a hypothetical child.
Guided Response: Review several of your peers’ posts. Respond to two of your
peers by providing at least two suggested resources as well as what each
resource can offer, that could be added to their information sheet. These
resources need to provide teachers with further information regarding
ADHD. An example of a resource might be Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
You will need to explain what the resource offers regarding ADHD.
