Common Questions and Answers about Adhd learning styles

Avatar m tn Hello, Before considering which medications might help, you will want to find out if you meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD or a specific learning disability. Keep in mind that the symptoms you report could be happening for many reasons, ADHD being only one possibility. A psychologist, neuropsychologist or doctor of education can do a psychological evaluation (series of tests) that will determine a diagnosis.
Avatar m tn First, any company that does not give their prices and wants you to call in for that - bothers me. That speaks of an expensive product and a hard sell. But whatever. I also don't like their promise (with no research sited), of a " If you are looking for a permanent, drug-free solution to your child's ADHD, Learning Technics offers a revolutionary and proven program with an astounding 93% success rate." I have never seen any research that shows a permanent solution.
Avatar f tn Is this normal behavior for an ADHD child? Is there any way to break this cycle? It just breaks our heart to watch him do this to himself we don't understand why he doesn't just do the task. Thank you.
Avatar m tn Among adults in particular, ADHD is highly likely to co-occur with anxiety and learning problems. The distractability of ADHD makes it even harder to turn your attention away from intrusive thoughts and urges (such as the urge to pick your scalp). You are not alone in having both conditions. I think you can get the most symptom relief from selecting a psychiatrist and psychologist who work together (or who are willing to work as a team) for you .
973741 tn?1342342773 You can have EFD and not adhd since the EFD can be a learning disorder not due to adhd. I hope these help. Since knowing the difference does amount in treatment differences. First link might be the best. https://www.additudemag.com/executive-function-disorder-adhd-explained/ Second is more on ways to treat. https://www.additudemag.com/slideshows/what-are-adhd-executive-functions/ Ok, this is interesting. took one last look.
Avatar n tn re doing is working, for now, anyway. Just keep watching his behaviors / learning styles and adjusting over the years. Maybe your perceptions about AS are shaped by the media which is kinda mixed. When you watch the movie PS, I love you, Harry Connick Jr plays the role a man with Aspergers and he seems very funny and maybe a little awkward, but he functions very wel, socially. Harry was interveiwed recently about his and suspects he may have Aspergers afterresearching what the role required.
Avatar f tn I know he has something else in addition to the ADHD, some kind of learning disability. I want to have him tested in ALL areas so I specifically know how to help him. He just can't seem to grasp the materials taught, his expressive language is not of his peers. Reading comprehension is sooo difficult for him, he has to read it several times and much animation from me for him to understand it. Then writing a short answer is impossible for him to complete on his own.
Avatar f tn Have you ever had him tested for ADD/ADHD? I first discovered my son had ADD at age 5 but I tried medication and didn't like how he reacted to it so I've tried home remedies and holistic ways to control his outburst and behavior aspects and have found that between school and home corporation things have gotten better. A lot of times children can be misdiagnosed for ADD/ADHD and they just are exceptional kids who just need to be micromanaged to keep them focused.
1329481 tn?1275141813 ADHD is a life long condition. It doesn't just come & go. I have ADHD & I do not take medications. At some point, you have to learn to live with it & techniques in place to cope with it. It'll be with you til the day you die, & you can't rely on pills. Good luck.
1543592 tn?1293386614 new to the site... experience anxiety and depression often... also diagnosed ADHD *** well so I am not sure if they are related? ... anyways.. I have just been getting this odd feeling lately that I am just going to die.. I am not suicidal in ANY form but It's constantly in the back of my head.. does this happen to any else?
Avatar n tn It seems my son who is 12 and has been diagnosed ADHD a long time ago. Has great difficulty retaining information. His spelling is below that of a fourth grader, his writing is just as bad. He goes to KUMON to get help in math but had to start at a 3rd grade level. My husband and I go over spelling with him over and over and it seems like his brain turns on and off when it wants to and he just doesn't get it.
Avatar m tn Outside of learning problems, that is the highest coexisting disorder listed. Thus, one would think that perhaps that ADHD is the trigger and learning to cope with ADHD would help one also deal with ODD. Thus, I would certainly look into the chances of having had undiagnosed ADD or ADHD as a child/adult. And if so, would work on ADHD coping methods. I have references on that if needed I have included several references that touch on this relationship.
Avatar f tn My 9 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD last year (and CAPD) and learning disabilibites, however bright and alert he is in conversation, writing and reading were not easy for him. He has been going to a special school for learning differences and it has made a huge improvement. We decided that we did not want to medicate him for his attention disorder, we eat healthy, have a good lifestyle etc.
Avatar f tn The school is recommending testing for learning disabilities. (ADD, ADHD or anything else that would bring them Federal money) The good thing about it is, hopefully the doctor will find that it is diet controlled and not brain wiring and can get mom to change. Anytime dad recommends something to mom, she takes it personally and won't do it. He has already bought vitamins for all of them to take and she refuses because it was his suggestion.
Avatar n tn My son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 3 years old but I refused to put him on medication at that time because my older son was also diagnosed with ADHD and has time went on was able to manage with meds. Then I found out that he has ADHD the behavior part and with my older son was ADHD the learning disability part. Well, has my younger son got older and taller the symptoms and everything else got worse.
1192722 tn?1264785547 I should add that ADHD does not directly have an impact on IQ. In other words, simply because a child displays ADHD does not have any meaning in relation to that child's IQ. Most people who display ADHD have IQ's in the Average range - their distribution is very much the same as the distribution in the poulation as a whole.
Avatar n tn And it is a few years before that should become an issue. I would spend my time learning about ADHD so that you can better understand what your boyfriend has been going through. One site that you both might enjoy is this adult site for AD/HD - http://jeffsaddmind.com/for-first-time-visitors The more the both of you learn about ADHD, the stronger your relationship will be and the better it will be for your baby. If you have any more questions, feel free to post. Best wishes!
Avatar f tn I have a 11 yr old boy with adhd he takes pills since he is 6 ...i will like to learn how to take good care of him and his behavior and how to learn to treat with him..to help him. What kind of stuff can i do to manage his mood..please..
Avatar f tn So pead is unsure if his behaviour changes learning difficulties are due to his autism his Adhd or possibly raised Intercrainal preasure. Now I have an appointment with NS next week so I will know more. Pead thinks he should go back on the adhd meds if NS rules out ICP. She doesn't think he has EDS as although he is very flexible his skin is not particularly stretchy. She has refered him for genetic testing anyway. So my question is does having chairi preclude you from taking Adhd meds.
Avatar f tn He was hyper active and extremely good at escaping the house. He was not learning or learning and then forgetting what was learned. He has a lot of fine motor issues and at 91/2 still cannot tie his shoes. We took him to his regular pediatrician and to a physiologist who prescribed ADHD meds. He has has had adverse reactions to three and now hates to leave the house or engage on anything new. The social anxiety is far worse than ever.
Avatar f tn I think your first resort should be finding out if he has any learning disabilities. I have seen kids with ADD hit the wall at about 4th grade and start giving up. The grades start to go and then because they are being judged a failure everyday, their self concept and thus their attitude starts to self destruct. If he does have something like ADD, bribery won't work because even if he is trying hard to succeed - he won't be able to without the proper help.
406058 tn?1210594632 Yes Trevor has what some would call extreme ADHD and takes Risperdal 2 mg twice a day and Concerta ER 27mg once a day for him ADHD he also has weak fine motor skills and learning deficits he can only establish eye contact when on the meds. He also has temper tamtrums at least 4 times a day .
