    ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention and hyperactivity. Symptoms in the classroom include an inability to focus, daydreaming, and forgetting instructions. Hyperactivity causes uncontrollable urges to move and difficulty sitting still. The best treatments are behavioral therapy, medication like methylphenidate and amphetamines, and ADHD coaching. Untreated ADHD can be detrimental to education, with 30% of untreated children failing to graduate compared to 10% without ADHD. Early treatment is important so symptoms do not strongly influence lives in the future.

    What is ADHD?

     ADHD or Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental


    disorder. An aspect of ADHD is Attention-deficit, attention – deficit
    according to the center of disease control (CDC) makes focusing and
    one's ability to stay on task extremely difficult. Inability to complete
    assigned task, daydreaming, and forgetting instructions are all examples
    of symptoms student suffering from ADHD express in the classroom.
    Another aspect of ADHD is hyperactivity. hyperactivity is simply a
    person's uncontrollable urge to move about constantly. People suffering
    from hyperactivity find  sitting still a daunting task, people suffering from
    hyperactivity are also likely to experience restlessness and they  can also
    have trouble keeping quiet.

    how to treat ADHD

    I want parents/adults to be given a chance to help their children


    receive the care and treatments they need. According
    to NeuroHealth the best therapeutic treatments for people with
    ADHD are Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral
    Therapy, ADHD Coaching, Music Therapy, etc. Another aspect of
    treatments for ADHD is medication and stimulants are the best
    medicines for ADHD are methylphenidate and amphetamine as
    stated by the child MIND Institute. With these treatments, I believe
    that anybody with ADHD will be able to lessen their urge to move
    about and can refocus themselves.

    my position and ADHD

    I believe that there's really no difference between a person


    with ADHD and a person with no ADHD. ADHD is just a brain that
    works differently but untreated ADHD can be very detrimental to a
    child's future and education. According to smartkidswithld 30% of
    children with untreated ADHD fail to graduate high school compared
    to 10% of children without.  I would like for adults and parents
    around the world to go to the doctor and see if their child has ADHD.
    So it could be treated at a younger age for the symptoms of ADHD
    do not too strongly influence their lives in the Future.
