Extractions: "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 (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). Over the past several years, ADD 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 ADHD. While helpful to those challenged by this disability, such widespread recognition creates the possibility of improper diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Now, more than ever, parents who suspect their child might have ADD or ADHD and parents of children who have already been diagnosed with the disorder need to evaluate information, products, and practitioners carefully." National Information Center for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (add-adhd, ADHD, AD/HD) is being diagnosed with increasing frequency in both children and adults. Many of these individuals were previously labeled hyperactive or minimally brain damaged. According to the American Psychiatric Association, it is estimated that there are approximately 1.6 to 2 million people who have this disorder.

Extractions: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are disorders faced by many families today. We've brought together our best articles here in this section. For related topics, refer to: Learning Disabilities or Physical Disabilities and General Information Our rating system for these articles is: ADHD and Children Who Are Gifted Frequently, bright children have been referred to psychologists or pediatricians because they exhibited certain behaviors (e.g., restlessness, inattention, impulsivity, high activity level, day-dreaming) commonly associated with a diagnosis of ADHD. 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.

Extractions: Attention Deficit - Hyperactivity Disorder A Guide for Parents (from LDA) Attention deficit disorder is a syndrome characterized by serious and persistent difficulties in the following three specific areas: Attention span. Impulse control. Hyperactivity (sometimes). ADD is a chronic disorder that can begin in infancy and extend through adulthood, having negative effects on a child's life at home, school, and within the community. It is conservatively estimated that 3 to 5% of our school-age population is affected by ADD. The condition previously fell under the headings, "learning disabled," "brain damaged," "hyperkinetic," or "hyperactive." The term attention deficit disorder was introduced to describe the characteristics of these children more clearly.

Extractions: Newsletter Volume 17, Number 3, Summer 1996 In a recent conversation with the mother of a former student, I learned that her son, Rob, had been placed in the gifted class for math in the school he now attends. His mother was very pleased but told me that, because Rob is also learning disabled, she went to speak with the math teacher to explain accommodations Rob might need. She was stunned to hear the teacher say that, had she known about Rob's learning disability, she would never have allowed him to be placed in her class. The teacher went on to say that it was not possible to be gifted and learning disabled. Rob's mother will keep close tabs on his situation and Tommy did learn to read through a very structured program, while I'm left wondering how we can help teachers accept that students may be gifted and learning disabled and how we can better prepare them to identify and meet the needs of these students. As we take a closer look at this seemingly strange combination, it will be good to keep in mind the heterogeneity found in nearly every group of students with whom we, as teachers and administrators, work. Spend a day in a gifted resource class and you will begin to notice that gifted students vary tremendously in terms of learning styles, readiness, and interests. So, too, do those in the learning disabilities resource room and the regular classroom as well!

Cigarette Smoking Causes Child Learning Disabilities - Attention Deficit And Beh
New evidence that cigarette smoking during pregnancy can cause attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, aggressive behavior disorders and lower math and reading scores in children.
http://www.chem-tox.com/pregnancy/smoking.htm

Extractions: INTRODUCTION Although the percentage of smoking in the general population is declining, the rate of this is slowest among women of childbearing age. The recent National Household Survey on Drug Abuse reported that among women of reproductive age, approximately one-third smoke cigarettes on a regular basis. These figures for the United States are within one or two percentages of those noted in Canada and Sweden. In five surveys throughout the U.S., the extent of cigarette use by women during pregnancy "hyperkinetic disease" as one of the "very rare" psychoses of childhood. In other early textbooks, Kanner (2) gave only five sentences to "the restless, fidgety, hyperkinetic child", "the single most common behavioral disorder seen by child psychiatrists."

Extractions: Nov. 1999 Updated November 15, 2002 Goal of this Web Site: It has been my goal to educate teachers, parents, and those of us living with ADD or experiencing ADD in our families. My intent is to bring information in an accurate, positive manner. My hope is to help others understand and accept AD/HD. To accomplish this goal, I authored a series of newsletters. Well known AD/HD experts such as Dr. Claire Jones, Dr. Bruce Pasch, Cynthia Pasch, M.Ed, Dr. Ed Hallowell, Dr. Katherine Nadeau, Mary Jane Johnson, Larry Saltzman, Dr. Sarah Roth, Dr. David Rabiner, Wilma Felman, Sigmund Boloz, and other professionals graciously contributed to the newsletters. Initially the newsletters were available by subscription but time pressures have prevented me from continuing them on a subscription basis. They will be made available on this website. Thank you for taking the time to complete the questionnaires and sending your comments. Many have had questions, comments, and requests to share the narratives. These responses will add to the web page and newsletters.
