Common Questions and Answers about Adhd symptoms classroom

Avatar f tn It certainly is an inherited disorder for many - but not all kids. But, i have had kids in the classroom who have ADHD and their brother or sister did not. So it certainly is not guaranteed. By the way, I have seen the changes in how ADHD is treated over the years. Having spent almost 40 years in the classroom. It is being treated much better now then it was. And your little one (if they do have ADHD) will have an advantage in having parents that know what is going on.

Avatar n tn I have a 7 yr old son who has been officialy diagnosed as having ADHD along with Sensory Processing Disorder since the August; before he had had early intervention for speech delay and had been labled with "Developmental Delay" by the school systems special services team. I agree that young boys often are behind girls in their ability to sit and attend in a classroom because they mature later.
Avatar f tn My son who has been having issues at school is now with a person 1:1. He says he is happy doing this and does not want to go back to the classroom, I'm concerned about this longterm. The learning specialist said this will be ok and we should be able to get him back to the classroom. I am just worried about him. the doctor wasn't sure i he had ADHD or not. My mom says put him on meds, try him, but I told her you have to have a prescription and i"m not sure that is best.
Avatar f tn The symptoms you are describing do sound like ADHD.-- almost textbook ADHD, actually. I know you had him evaluated before, but I think you consider having him evaluated again.
Avatar n tn However, her teacher at school has told me that she is having a hard time getting her to pay attention in school and to do things according to the classroom order. Granted it's only been 5 days of school so far, but I am wondering if I should start being concerned about ADD? She is very smart and academically is well beyond kindergarten, but she was never in any type of school before now, as I stayed home with her.
Avatar f tn For preschool-aged children, evidence-based behavioral therapy alone is recommended as the first step toward treating ADHD symptoms and associated impairment. Behavioral treatments may include behavioral parent training, classroom management, and/or peer interventions.
Avatar m tn Is it acceptable for kindergarten students to receive I.S.S.? I have a five year old daughter who is very intelligent. She is constantly getting in trouble at school for not following directions, talking, clapping her hands with soap in them, not sitting on the carpet correctly etc..... At times she has a hard time minding and controlling her anger and sadness. I talk to her and she says she understands but keeps on with the same behavior.
Avatar m tn I guess the main reason I bring this up is that even though all the symptoms do point to ADHD, there are some things like Sensory Processing Disorder that have very similar symptoms and I would want somebody with experience to possibly rule other factors out. One of the things that I do find unusual is the length of time he crys. As an elementary school principal, we had kids that did cry in kindergarten. They usually stopped after a period of time. His crying is unusual.
Avatar f tn Because each child is different, you and the school phycologist would assess what she needs ( based on her doctors recommendation after an assessment has been made to find where her areas of weakness are ) that would help her. I have found that ADHD has many symptoms and changes as a child grows. The 504 Plan will need to be updated yearly and can help along with other treatments. Diet, vitamins, and a behavioral therapist can be most helpful.

1192722 tn?1264785547 he also should have an IEP (assuming you live in the USA and he is in a public school) that pulls him from the classroom during the day for x amount of time to be taught one-on-one in the Resourse Room by a special needs teacher that makes sure that he understands the material and finishes his classroom work. If he does have ADHD or ADD, you need to consider medication, fish oil, extra vitamins (C and B complex), lots of exercise and sleep, and healthy diet.
Avatar f tn s 6 year check-up , which I did. The Ped suggested I have the teacher fill out the ADHD screening sheet and this way we can see where we stand and decided how to move forward, if needed. I filled out the sheet as well. The doctor called me last week and said the screening sheet from the teacher definitely is positive for ADHD and the sheet I have filled out is borderline.
Avatar m tn And actually while virtually all the study techniques for people with ADHD will also help those without ADHD, medication also figures in. So it is also important to know (if you do have ADHD) if you are on medication. And if you are - when do you take it and what kind? So, if you don't mind, let me know if you have ADHD and if so the types of meds being used or not used.
Avatar f tn I posted this in the adhd forum but I think i should have placed it in chikd behaviors. My daughter has some new behaviors and we are concerned. She is in the accelerated program so is highly intelligent. She has a long attention span in the classroom and can sit for exams, projects, long presentations etc. However, at home, she is anxious and hyper and can't sit still. I offer books which she reads a lot, projects, etc. But she can't sit still. Please advise.
Avatar f tn Because of her history, attachment disorders and post-traumatic stress disorders should be ruled out. They may present with similar symptoms as ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. Also worth checking out if she may have inherit bipolar disorder.
414608 tn?1221754268 he would thow things in the classroom and have tantrums frequently. He is very smart and academically, his grades were ok, it was just his behavior wasn't and him not being able to sit down. During the summer, we took him to a therapist who diagonsed him with with the ADHD with ODD. She prescribed Adderall which worked for two months, then the same behavior started to come back so we increased the aAdderal from 5mg to 10 mg.
Avatar m tn [30] If a child seems too active on the playground but not elsewhere, the problem might not be ADHD. It might also not be ADHD if the behaviors occur in the classroom but nowhere else. A child who shows some symptoms would not be diagnosed with ADHD if his or her schoolwork or friendships are not impaired by the behaviors.[30] Even if a child’s behavior seems like ADHD, it might not actually be ADHD; careful attention to the process of differential diagnosis is mandatory.
Avatar f tn Hello, my 6 year old daughter has Tourette Syndrome, OCD, ADHD, ODD, anxiety and sleep disorders, and some sensory issues as well. I'm supposed to sit down with her school this commiong Tues May 5th to discuss having a 504 plan implemented for her and I don't even know where to begin. Her anxiety, ODD, sensory issues and sleep problems have been about 60% under control with medication and I'd say her Tics, OCD, and ADHD are about 30-40% under control depending on the day.
Avatar f tn She would not complete her work, she got sent out of the classroom a lot, and she even talked back to her teacher a couple of times. This summer took her to a local child psychologist. We feel like all we do is argue and yell at her. We don't want her to live like this. After a series of tests on her part and questionnaires on our part, he diagnosed her with ADHD (inattentive type with no H factor) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
Avatar m tn The main things would be ADD and ADHD. With these disorders it is very hard to focus for a period of time long enough to commit to memory. You might want to buy, "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley. She not only explains this but also gives ways to work with these disorders to overcome some of the problems.
Avatar f tn No way to know at this age if he has ADHD and nothing could be done anyway. Lots of kids are active early on. He may become a famous track star! Get one of those innertube rolly things, put him inside and let him run himself till exhausted. When he is five or six, and can't sit still in a classroom then you may want to revisit the ADHD thing. Till then - don't worry, ENJOY!
Avatar f tn The scores on his 2nd grade achievement test places his intellectual ability at mid year 3rd grade. DO my son have symptoms of ADD-ADHD. Should I retain my son in the second grade to improve on the weakness stated by his teacher.
Avatar f tn It can have symptoms very similar to ADHD but is treated very differently. A great site I have found for information on this is here - http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/sensory-processing-disorder-checklist.html So those are the quick thoughts. I would definitely look at the SIDS site because you do treat that differently from ADHD. and he could have both. What is distressing to me is that he could have ADHD and the only help the doctors gave you is to prescribe meds?
Avatar f tn //www.medhelp.org/forums/ADD---ADHD/show/175 and he does exhibit numerous ADHD symptoms. You can check out ADHD symptoms here - http://www.help4adhd.org/en/about/what/WWK1 And, he well may not have ADHD. But if he does, the way he is treated is different then if he is just another kid who is active. There are a lot of very specific actions that you can take that will help him. And, medication ( if you were to also go that route) is just a small part of what could be done to help him.
