 The text states that worldwide, about 5.29% of all people are diagnosed with ADHD (Massat, Kelly, Constable, 2016)

The CDC reports that about 11% of all children in the United States between the ages of 4-17, are diagnosed with ADHD as of 2011(Editors, 2018).]]> 2018-06-10 20:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266498928 tlovebsw https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266499473 2018-06-10 20:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266499473 tlovebsw https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266499839 2018-06-10 20:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266499839 tlovebsw https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266500641 Students who are diagnosed with ADHD lack attentiveness in the classroom, exhibit hyperactive behavior and impulsivity (Massat, Kelly, Constable, 2016). 

Theses effects can lead to expulsion, detention, and also the student not learning the material. All of these factors could lead to less than desirable academic performances. ]]> 2018-06-10 20:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266500641 tlovebsw https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266501522 A school system can hinder a student with ADHD by not learning how to help a student with ADHD to reach their learning potential. Many schools can view this disorder as too disruptive to the class and continuously writing off the student as having reoccurring behavioral problems, to keep them out of the classroom (Massat, Kelly, Constable, 2016). ]]> 2018-06-10 21:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266501522 tlovebsw https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266501938 A school can help students with ADHD by becoming more knowledgeable about the disorder and potential interventions to maximize the academic performance of the student (Massat, Kelly, Constable, 2016). ]]> 2018-06-10 21:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266501938 tlovebsw https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266502283 The school social worker is responsible for advocating on behalf of the student and becoming a support system for them as well. This will include finding potential interventions to aid the student in their academics. The school social worker is responsible for determining the correct EIP for the student and coordinating with other involved staff, to make the school system aware of how to best advocate for the student (Massat, Kelly, Constable, 2016). ]]> 2018-06-10 21:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266502283 tlovebsw https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266502844 School social workers may need to implement EIPs on all three of the tiers: Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. 

Tier 1: Use Social-Emotional Learning to promote positive behavioral interventions (Massat, Kelly, Constable, 2016). School Social Workers would monitor the progress of this intervention by weekly reports of child behaviors and having snacks for those that exhibited positive behavior for the week to continue that positive behavior.

Tier 2: Use Behavior Education Program to serve as a way to provide additional support for students through the use of a daily checking in and out system (Massat, Kelly, Constable, 2016). The checking in and checking out system would be used to monitor any improvements with the student through the submission of their goal sheet. 

Tier 3: Use Psychoeducation to help the student understand their ADHD and form ways to control the impact of ADHD on their everyday life and academics (Beaulieu,Sulkowski, 2015). Monitor this system by having a meeting with the child twice a week at school to speak with them about their understanding of their ADHD and to check on their academic progress through report cards and progress reports. ]]> 2018-06-10 21:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266502844 tlovebsw https://padlet.com/tlovebsw/r0l83sst6lm9/wish/266504440 1.
