Slide 2-

ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder
Slide 3-

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder The diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is given to individuals who have frequent failure to comply in an age appropriate fashion with situational demands for inhibition of impulsive responses and resistance to distracting influences. These behaviors interfere with the individual’s performance in social and academic settings.
Slide 4-

ADHD: Current Working Theory Symptoms of ADHD are caused by abnormality in the Executive Function of the brain.
Slide 5-

ADHD and Inheritance Inherited 57-97% (mean 80%) If parent has ADHD—offspring risk 20-54% 25-30% of fathers 15-20% of mothers Identical twins 55-92% Child with ADHD male sibling 35% female sibling 15%
Slide 6-

Core issues with ADHD Impulsivity Poorly regulated activity—hyperactivity Distractibility—poor sustained attention Disorganization Diminished rule governed behavior Emotional over arousal Poor/No generalization of information Variability of task performance
Slide 7-

Pathology Pathology occurs when the core symptoms of ADHD are pervasive, prominent and impair functioning in all aspects of life.
Slide 8-

What is it like to have ADHD Behavioral disinhibition Dysfunction of cognitive ability Poor adaptive function Difficulty with rule governed behavior Delays in internalization of language
Slide 9-

Other ADHD qualities Sometimes work harder at avoiding work than actually doing it Academic progress is often a roller coaster – up and down all year Moody Really do want to do well Frustration
Slide 10-

Qualities: ADHD Inattentive Type (“ADD”) Often not identified until 5th grade, middle school, or even high school May see substantial drop in grades around middle school Compensate for struggles (mask it) Often described as “lazy”, “doesn’t care”, “unmotivated”, “doesn’t try” Slower processing speed is common Often very quiet and well behaved – so not on the “radar screen”
Slide 11-

Typical Vulnerabilities Low self esteem Humiliation Feeling “dumb” Always “in trouble” Quick to lie about behavior Become defensive Feel defeated
Slide 12-

Slide 14-

Comorbid Conditions Learning Disabilities Cognitive Deficits Tics / Tourette’s Disorder Drug or alcohol use
Slide 15-

Comorbid Conditions Depression Anxiety Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Behavioral Disorders: Oppositional Defiant disorder Conduct Disorder
Slide 16-

The Core Symptoms of ADHD are present as symptoms in a variety of psychiatric diagnoses
Slide 17-

Other diagnoses with shared symptoms Depression Anxiety Bipolar Disorder Thought Disorder Autism Substance abuse
Slide 18-

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder frequently have social skill difficulties which are manifested by intrusive behaviors and erratic or variable behaviors. They can be demanding and controlling. Maturity seems to lag and these children are often perceived as two years behind their aged peers in maturity.
Slide 19-

30-40% of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder have affective disorders such as depression and anxiety
Slide 20-

How is the Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder made?
Slide 21-

To make the diagnosis of ADHD Psychological evaluation Medical evaluation
Slide 22-

Treatment Education Behavior Management/Family Counseling Medication Consultation with school personnel
Slide 23-

Behavior Management/Family Counseling Effective in teaching ways to be consistent Teaching problem solving techniques Support Breaking cycles of learned behavior
Slide 24-

Help in the Classroom Be sure you are dealing with ADHD Seek assistance to clarify diagnosis Communicate with teachers/parents Include the child in making a plan Ask the child what will help Help the child to take ownership
Slide 25-

Help in the Classroom Avoid being punitive Set positive goals Attempt to reinforce effort and not just accomplishment of goals (sometimes these children try their best and still don’t meet basic goals for behavior) Remember all ADHD is NOT alike
Slide 26-

Help in the Classroom Use a “firm-flexibility” approach with the child – combination of support, accommodations, clear limits, and expectations Daily schedules may help - visual Use visuals when possible Be cognizant of “high risk” times (e.g., unstructured, less supervised times)
Slide 27-

Help in the Classroom Keep in mind that many behaviors may reflect coping with frustration/anxiety Structure and clear expectations are vital for success Need for cues, reminders, and repetition Be aware of and avoid “helping” strategies that may humiliate the child
Slide 28-

Help in the Classroom: ANY approach one takes should strive to minimize penalizing the student for struggles that are a direct result of ADHD. That is, attempt to differentiate behaviors that are much harder for the child due to ADHD versus those that may occur by choice
Slide 29-

Help in the Classroom Initiate communication with parents and ask about: Homework time Student’s understanding of tasks Time and effort spent with routine homework
Slide 30-

Help in the Classroom If the child is clearly falling behind, take the initiative to notify parents Be careful not to assume that problem behaviors are intentional Try to stay positive Work with the student to set goals (but not too many at once)
Slide 31-

Help in the Classroom: Distraction Remember a child may be “listening” to you but not attending to what you are saying Provide extended time as needed Emphasize quality over quantity with assignments and homework
Slide 32-

Help in the Classroom: Distraction Have the student repeat directions and/or demonstrate understanding Monitor student’s progress in completing work so it doesn’t pile up Provide cues to help the child stay on task (e.g., agree on “secret” cues)
Slide 33-

Help in the Classroom: Disorganization Consider allowing the student to have a second set of books at home Make sure the child has correctly recorded homework assignments Specifically request their homework and/or find a system that works Suggest simple ways to organize papers Work with the child to organize locker
Slide 34-

Help in the Classroom: Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Provide adequate breaks and opportunities to move or “reset” Use visual cues to help the child remember to “STOP & THINK” When entering into a “high risk” situation, talk through successful behavior with the student beforehand

Help in the Classroom: Working Memory A skill learned today is not necessarily remembered tomorrow Note taking is often harder – be sure they have relatively complete notes Suggest strategies that help the child compensate for this weakness
Slide 37-

ADHD Treatment Multimodal Treatment Study of ADHD (n = 579) Investigated effects of various treatment modalities on children with ADHD, combined type over 14 month period Results Medication alone most effective treatment of core symptoms of ADHD Medication with psychosocial treatments was superior to other treatments for non-ADHD areas of functioning – i.e. aggressive behaviors, parent-child relations, teacher-rated social skills Medication Classes Stimulants Antidepressants Antihypertensives Wake-promoting agent used in narcolepsy
Slide 38-

Stimulants First line medication treatment of ADHD Approximately 70% of children will respond to the first stimulant prescribed Up to 90% respond to the first or second stimulant attempted Mechanism of Action Increase dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity in frontal cortex
Slide 39-

Stimulants Three types of stimulant formulations Short-acting Duration of action 2-4 hours Must be given 2-4 times per day Intermediate-acting Duration of action 6-8 hours Long-acting Duration of action 10-12 hours Current accepted practice is to initiate treatment with an intermediate or long-acting preparation
Slide 40-

Methylphenidate Class Short-acting Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Methylin) Focalin Intermediate-acting Ritalin LA/Ritalin SR Metadate CD/Metadate ER Long-acting Focalin XR Concerta Daytrana patch
Slide 41-

Amphetamine Class Short Acting Adderall Abused in adolescent population Dexedrine/Dextrostat Desoxyn (Methamphetamine HCl) Intermediate-acting Dexedrine spansules Long Acting Adderall XR Vyvanse Prodrug – cleaved by stomach enzyme (less abusable)
