ADHD & ADD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect a person’s ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate energy levels.

- Impulsivity and difficulty with self-control

Inattention: Individuals with ADHD or ADD may struggle with maintaining focus, following instructions, and organizing tasks or activities.
Hyperactivity: Hyperactivity symptoms include excessive fidgeting, restlessness, and difficulty staying seated in situations where it’s expected.
Impulsivity: Impulsivity manifests as acting without considering consequences, interrupting others, and difficulty waiting for turns.
Support and Intervention:
Effective management of ADHD & ADD involves a combination of strategies tailored to the individual’s specific needs. This may include:
- Behavioral interventions and parent training
- Medication management (e.g., stimulant medications)
- Classroom accommodations and modifications
- Executive functioning coaching
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for coping skills
Conclusion:
ADHD & ADD can present challenges in various aspects of life, but with the right support and intervention, individuals can learn to manage symptoms and thrive. Understanding the unique needs of individuals with ADHD & ADD and providing appropriate support and accommodations are essential steps toward success.
