ADHD & Education
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is one of the most frequently occurring childhood psychiatric disorders. Symptoms include not staying focused on a task, having trouble sitting still, and acting without thinking. These symptoms usually become evident in preschool or early elementary years, and can continue into adolescence. The latest research has shown that 50% of children with ADHD may carry the disorder into adulthood.
If left untreated, ADHD can have long-term effects on a child's ability to make friends or do well at school or work. Over time, children with the condition may develop depression, poor self-esteem, and other emotional problems.
