Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are increasingly being

discussed, at least to some extent, interchangeably. It has

captured the attention of educators everywhere, and victims are

most frequently referred to the case worker within the

respective educational institution. Throughout this paper,

there will be a reflection of that understanding which we have

come to know regarding this somewhat enigmatic disorder.

Similarly, causes, treatments, and strategies shall also be

. . .
Treatment for ADHD

will not correct any learning disabilities; they must be

treated separately.

Final studies, however, were not entirely consisted with

the immediate positive results, and many researchers have

concluded that there exists a need for additional research and

investigation. It is a related disorder often found in

children who have learning disabilities. These students are

poor spellers and typically have poor handwriting, difficulty

organizing their thoughts and written expression, weakness in

mechanics and written organization (i. spacing on the page),

and tremendous difficulty with speed of written output. There

are other numerous erasures, and the illegibility of product. " (Silver, 1990) The implications which Dr. Personally, it is the view of this author that this

direction or term is one is most appropriate, since

hyperactivity and aggressive behavior are two prominent factors

(amongst others) which so often accompany ADD.

From a practical perspective, a classroom teacher's

immediate concern should have to do with the child/victim of

ADD/ADHD and health activity. It is important that this

diagnosis be made by a trained professional and be established

only if the behaviors are more nuerologically based -- a

conclusion usually based on a history of the problem and

whether it has been chronic and pervasive. One study which emanated from

the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland

investigated cerebral glucose metabolism in 50 normal adults

and 25 with a history of hyperactivity in childhood and

continuing symptoms. Causes of childhood

hyperactivity has been attributed to a wide variety of factors,

including those related to diet. " Increasingly, Attention Deficit Disorder is being

discussed in the same vein as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity

Disorder.
