​Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiologic condition whose symptoms are also dependent on the child's environment.

ADHD is now one of the most common and most studied conditions of childhood.

Research to date has shown ADHD may be caused by a number of things:

Brain anatomy and function. A lower level of activity in the parts of the brain that control attention and activity level may be associated with ADHD. See ADHD and the Brain from Understood.org.

Genes and heredity. ADHD frequently runs in families. A child with ADHD has a 1 in 4 chance of having a parent with ADHD. It's also likely that another close family member, such as a sibling, will also have ADHD. Sometimes, ADHD is diagnosed in a parent at the same time it is diagnosed in the child. See Inheriting Mental Disorders.

Significant head injuries may cause ADHD in some cases.

Prematurity increases the risk of developing ADHD.

Prenatal exposures, such as alcohol or nicotine from smoking, increase the risk of developing ADHD.

In very rare cases, toxins in the environment may lead to ADHD. For instance, lead in the body can affect child development and behavior.

Why do so many children have ADHD?

The number of children getting treatment for ADHD has risen. It is not clear whether more children have ADHD or more children are receiving a diagnosis of ADHD. Also, more children with ADHD are getting treatment for a longer period.

Because of more awareness and better ways of diagnosing and treating this disorder, more children are being helped.

It may also be the case that school performance has become more important because of the higher technical demand of many jobs, and ADHD frequently interferes with school functioning.

I would provide the student with pentyl of accommodations and resources to help manage their ADHD, including a clear and set routine of the day, making sure I am patient with the child, and I would try my best to provide them with different instructional material to keep them on task, and have a box of fidget they can use to help re-direct there attention on their work instead of needing to get out of the seats. some challenges I would face while teaching this student would include making sure that they are getting their work done and not distracting the other students who are also trying to learn. This would include making sure they are on tasks and giving them breaks when they need. this student if given the right accommodation could be a model student for others in the class as they could set an example for other children
