The term “hyperactive” and ADD are sometimes used interchangeably, but this is not accurate. The true symptoms of ADD may be less obvious than that of the tantrum-thrower in the mall.
Attention Deficit Disorder most often makes itself apparent as extreme inattentiveness. While mo...

Let’s say you have a passion for salads in different varieties.
Because of this, you developed the skill of preparing them by yourself. So every time you crave for salad, you check the ingredients you have at home.

Is ADD A Learning Disability?
By :
Sarah K. Jenkins
Attention Deficit Disorder, in itself, is not a learning disability. The term “learning disability” typically refers to a perceptual disability, such as an auditory or visual processing disorder, like autism or dyslexia. A person with ADD, however, has no problems perceiving or interpreting information. Therefore, it does not qualify as a learning disability.
Although it is often jumbled in with the mass of “disabilities”, ADD actually does not hinder the process of learni...

ADHD And Executive Control: Intervention Strategies For Parents And Teachers
By :
Adam Cox
Psychologists, schools, and families have come a long way in their collective understanding of attention-deficit disorder over the past decade. Most of us now understand that to think of ADHD as merely a problem with distraction, or excess energy, is to grossly simplify what is a complex neuropsychological syndrome.
Extensive research has revealed the extraordinary impact of ADHD on the lives of children. Perhaps the most important contribution of scientific research, fro...

The signs of Attention Deficit Disorder may or may not be incredibly apparent. Because of the intricacies of this disorder and the variations from child to child, diagnosis may prove to be a difficult process.
The first step is understanding that hyperactivity is not synonymous with Attention Deficit Disorder. While a child may exhibit an increased level of activity with this disorder, it is not an inherent factor of ADD.

Types Of Add Manifestation In Children
By :
Sarah K. Jenkins
Attention Deficit Disorder wears many faces among children. While the hyperactive, rebellious boys are easy to spot, there are also several other types of children that suffer from ADD that go undiagnosed because of their less conspicuous behavior. Girls often fall into this category.
