ADHD stands for Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is a learning disability that involves a lack in the management of the brain. Although some may believe that it is a behavioral issue, it has nothing to do with the child's intelligence. There are a wide range of characteristics that make up a child with ADHD's brain. Some symptoms that could occur in the child are; difficulty in school, not being able to pay attention, not staying on task, constantly having to move, and distracting themselves as well as other kids. This is a very common disorder of the brain that many children develop all throughout the world. Throughout this project, I have learned many interesting facts about this learning disorder. Some things that surprised me about ADHD were that it does not develop in a child because of anything the parent did (unless the mother or father has the disorder themselves). Most likely the child developed ADHD because of a relative. Another thing that I learned was that ADD is a subtype of ADHD and not the other way around. They have many similarities. Referring back to the name ADD, children do not have signs of hyperactivity or impulsivity. In my personal opinion the treatment plan for ADHD children works greatly for what they need in a school and home environment. In one of my videos on my board called "Education for children with ADHD," it tells the story of a young girl named Lindsay and how the therapy she is attending for her ADHD impacts her in such a positive way that she is now succeeding in school and has a better attitude at home. Although this is only one of many stories to be told about a child in therapy and what they got out of it, I think this shows a good sign on how big the impact that therapy gives these children living with ADHD.

Understanding ADHD: When does normal become abnormal?

# data[].attributes.body
First identified as a disorder in 1902
Precise cause are still unknown
Occurrence of ADHD is tied to biological factors like the size and density of the brain structure
Also on how chemical reactions go about in the brain
Scientists discovered that children with ADHD have a smaller Cortex which controls action and thought, then a non ADHD brain.
It is located in the frontal lobe that controls impulse control, socialization, thought and reason, judgement, and more. This explains why children with ADHD are prone to drifting off, sudden outbursts, and poor judgement. Children with ADHD have smaller or thinner nerve tissue.
These variations affect the child's impulse control and attention.
