DQ 1
Do some research to identify a trend, event, or a policy related to ADHD. If you look on news websites, you can identify and discuss what reporters are currently writing about ADHD. If you look at the policy statements by institutions such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/facts.html ) or American Psychological Association
(APA.org), you can identify and discuss which policies or advice they provide. You could also try finding events (either past events or future ones) about ADHD at the local, state, or national level and then explain what one or more events were (or will be) about. Then, summarize your findings and report them to the class by responding to this discussion question.
During the week, go back and review your classmates’ posts and discuss similarities and differences between your response and your peers’ responses.
After making some research on trend related to children with ADHD, I have noticed the need to have teachers well informed on symptoms and behaviors with children with ADHD. There has been a growing amount of diagnosis initially made by teachers that have referred the child to School Based Therapy to continue the diagnosis. With this happening very often, it is important that teachers and school staff members are well educated on ADHD, and how to cope with a child with such disorder at the same time maintain class room management. The way that a teacher interacts/reacts to the child with the disorder is very imperative when it come to a child with ADHD being successful in the academic world. Some teachers have a general idea of what ADHD but a through education is needed in order for them to have the tools need to initiate the diagnosis of ADH
The research I found was conducted by the Center for Disease Control and the trend was on the prevalence of ADHD and the treatments. The findings concluded that over 6 million children were diagnosed with ADHD. Among children 2-17 years of age, 6 out of 10 were taking medication for their condition. Furthermore, the research found that just under half of those children were receiving behavioral therapy. Research also discovered that children from rural areas were likely to have an increase in diagnoses but less likely to receive behavioral therapy compared to children living in larger areas (National prevalence of ADHD and treatment, 2018) Children who do not have the advantages of a wide scope of health care options are limited in their resources and have no other choice than to take the medication. Often times the school system has some intervention strategies that can be of some assistance to the child, but these strategies are only useful at school. Parents are helpless when there are no other viable options.
