SYMPTOMS OF ADD/ADHD

IS YOUR CHILD BEING BRANDED AT SCHOOL AS A DIFFICULT OR NAUGHTY CHILD BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING?

• Difficulty in task completion, particularly if the task is perceived by the child as irrelevant.
• Attention deficit disorder is extremely selective, it is not global, these children are not necessarily distractible. They are mainly distractible when doing tasks that they do not see the point of doing. They are living "in the moment", everything important is happening right this minute. These problems relate to the child's inability to perceive rewards.
• The child does not process the consequences of his or her behavior.
• They also have problems with poor planning, poor rule-following behavior and inability to engage in sustained activities for any significant period of time.
• ADHD children have a generalized self-regulatory deficit that affects organization of information processing, the mobilization of attention throughout information processing, and the inhibition of inappropriate responding, and ... this self-regulatory deficit is present across visual, auditory, and perceptual motor modalities.
