It inspired my whole essay to be about how kids with ADHD shouldn't be put through direct therapy and held off drugs if possible.]]> 2019-11-20 18:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/414184076 jleegwater https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/414196241 This article talks about memory with ADHD people and how the brain’s neurons fire in different patterns and sometimes this can mess up and cloud how people remember information.]]> 2019-11-20 18:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/414196241 jleegwater https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/414198259 This article was doing against my theory and telling patents to medicate and have their kids do direct therapy. All my other sources go against this advice and say that this can actually be detrimental.]]> 2019-11-20 18:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/414198259 jleegwater https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/414199287 I used this article a lot in my essay. This article talks about how direct therapy is ineffective and parent training is much more effective. it also talks about medicating the child and how its usually not needed unless its an extreme case. It does a really good job explaining the background of their claims and why parent training helps children more than direct therapy
“Only therapy that focuses on training parents is recommended for young children with ADHD because young children are not mature enough to change their own behavior without their parent’s help”]]> 2019-11-20 18:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/414199287 jleegwater https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/414214194 For my individual source, I conducted an interview of a few friends and random people with ADHD. I asked them if they had ADHD, how they were treated, and how they think it affected themSix said they struggled a bit, but were able to make it through school without having many problems and don't know if therapy would have helped or not. Five said they struggled through elementary school, but were able to find their own ways to ease the struggle and with the help of their parents and experimenting with different methods of staying focused. Four had a really hard time with school and went to therapy. Two of those four said they thought the therapy helped them learn how to work with their issues and find ways to manage their focus. The other two of the four said the therapy didn't work very well, so they ended up trying different things until they found what worked best for them. Pictured is two of the People I interviewed, they are a good friend of mine and his wife who both have ADHD.

I researched a bit about this and tied it in with how people with ADHD's memory gets clouded and makes their memory really unstable.

Both of them together is usually not necessary, but in extreme cases them together is the best resolution.]]> 2019-11-27 11:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/417102577 jleegwater https://padlet.com/jleegwater/Essay4/wish/423677988 The essay I wrote shows how parent training is a much more effective strategy than direct therapy for a child developing with ADHD.
