s important as well. Parents should stay active involved in the educational lives of all of their children, but particularly those who struggle with ADD. There will usually be a number of records and documentation that a parent will need to keep track of. Maintaining all of this information in an organized format can do much to help medical and educational professionals effectively help a child to deal with ADD. There are also a number of educational rights that belong to children with attention deficit disorder. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act guarantees specific types of help and as well as information and educational opportunities to families and children with ADD. In addition to professional and educational assistance, families should also reach out friends and extended family for help. If everyone who has regular contact with the child understands the issues that the family is dealing with, misunderstandings can be minimized and needed support can be realized.
There are a variety of symptoms that may be exhibited by children with attention deficit disorder. If a child is forgetful, or is easily distracted, this may be an indicator of ADD. However, it is important to remember that young children may present many symptoms of this disease but this in not necessarily an indicator of future problems. The trend toward evaluating a child too early can lead to an incorrect diagnosis. But as a child moves beyond early elementary years, these symptoms may indicate the presence ADD.
Some of the hallmarks of children with attention deficit disorder are a resistance toward anything that requires sustained concentration, a lack of attention to details, disorganization, poor listening skills, and a multitude of careless mistakes. A child with a more hyperactive type of disorder will have a difficult time staying still or in one place. They will fidget and squirm a good deal and have a tendency to interrupt others. Taking turns or enjoying quiet activities can be very hard for a child who struggles with HD, or hyperactivity deficit disorder. For some families, a child may suffer from a combination of these two disorders called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. When this is the case, a smrgsbord of symptoms from both extremes will usually be present. For parents, the prospect of seeing a child with ADHD reach their full potential can seem beyond reach. But the Bible encourages believers to remember that God will always complete a work that He has begun. "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:6)
The treatments that are available for children with attention deficit disorder can include medication, behavioral intervention techniques, training of parents, and an educational plan that addresses the child's needs. Generally, behavioral intervention techniques will involve positive reinforcement that accompanies any behaviors or attitudes that are correct. Children with less severe disabilities of this nature may respond well to such positive reinforcement. Educational interventions may be necessary as well, but does not always need to be accomplished through major adjustment. However, some children with attention deficit disorder may require more drastic educational alterations. Many children respond well to medications. These prescribed drugs may be one of any of a number of stimulants or may be non stimulants. Treatment that reaches into the adult years may be necessary as well. When this is the case, learning to adapt to the disability in a way that promotes success in the adult world is needed. Vocational counseling can also be very useful for adults who are trying to succeed at their jobs and in life in spite of their disabilities. With the help and support of loved ones, as well as medical and educational professionals, those dealing with ADD, HD or ADHD can find success and fulfillment.
