Serrano and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience social and emotional impairments. However, there has been limited success in reducing these impairments and increasing social status through behavioral and pharmacological interventions. A fruitful avenue may be identifying the atypical social and emotional information processes that contribute to the impairments and subsequently developing interventions that target impaired, yet malleable processes. Using social information processing (SIP) theory as a guide, indicators of social and emotional processing and the relationship between these processes and social outcomes were examined.

Download or read book Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder written by Selda Ozdemir and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) is the most commonly diagnosed childhood disorder, affecting an estimated 3 to 5 percent of the kindergarten and school-age children in the U.S. Symptoms with regard to AD/HD manifest as long-standing, pervasive, and developmentally severe difficulties in hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. Secondary features associated with the disorder are also often quite problematic; such difficulties involve aggression, poor peer relations, academic underachievement, learning problems, low self-esteem and depressive symptoms. The considerable risks posed for children with early hyperactive-impulsive-inattentive behavior, when combined with early hostile, defiant behavior, clearly justify attempts at early intervention that may diminish or ward off these developmental risks. However, until recently, minimal research has been conducted to help practitioners in identifying and supporting young children at risk for this disorder. This book, therefore, analyzes groundbreaking findings from a dissertation study that provides a compelling evidence that implementing a multicomponent early intervention program, First Step to Success, can yield important benefits for children with AD/HD. This book addresses a wide range of issues produced by the disorder including social emotional problems, aggressive behaviors, and disruptive behaviors. With the synthesis of the current intervention programs designed to remediate social emotional and behavioral problems of children with ADHD, this work intended to be highly beneficial to any educators and investigators with an interest in resolving the problems of children with ADHD."--Publisher
Download or read book Understanding Developmental Differences in ADHD written by Laura Elizabeth Hlavaty and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic disorder associated with functional impairments in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Although externalizing behavior problems are the most common reason children are referred for ADHD diagnosis, disparities exist in when parents seek treatment. Differences between children who are referred for psychological evaluations in early childhood versus adolescence are not well understood. The purpose of this study is to explore the differences between children and adolescents that are referred for ADHD diagnosis and determine whether protective factors emerge for individuals referred at later ages. Participants included 1,331 youth referred for psychological evaluation at the ADHD Center for Evaluation and Treatment at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. Prior to evaluation, parents completed questionnaires about the child's history (medical history, developmental history, family history), temperament, behavior problems and assets, and previous mental health services. In addition, parents and teachers completed rating scales on ADHD symptoms, stress, and impairment. Also in-person diagnostic assessment and intellectual assessment was completed. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to explore predictors of Age of ADHD diagnosis, including number of ADHD symptoms, parent and teacher ratings of impairment, and compensatory factors related to IQ, temperament, and behavioral assets. Severe behavioral problems at school, higher numbers of referrals concerns, and lower family and caregiver quality of life contributed to younger age of ADHD diagnosis. Older age of diagnosis was predicted by parents who rated low support in their relationships with their spouse. Examination of developmental assets revealed that easy temperament, better social functioning, and greater compliance at school predicted older age of ADHD diagnosis, whereas younger age of diagnosis predicted more positive attitudes toward school and greater emotional awareness. Results add to our understanding of developmental processes underlying age of diagnosis and factors that may delay diagnosis. Additionally, ADHD symptom presentation and severity of behavioral symptoms affected family quality of life in young children. In contrast, older children may benefit from focused treatments aimed at addressing motivation toward achievement and emotion regulation. Overall, these results lend to the development of psychoeducation and intervention strategies designed to promote better outcomes for individuals with ADHD.
Download or read book Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder written by Francine Conway and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many researchers, clinicians, teachers, patients, and family members, the discourse on ADHD has been occurring in silos. Traditional ADHD camps are organized primarily in terms of neurological and cognitive perspectives and to a lesser extent psychoanalytic/psychodynamic perspectives. Those with an interest in ADHD have not been able to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the disorder and consequently have been restricted in psychotherapy treatment options. This book argues for the integration of the three perspectives on ADHD. Drawing on the expertise of an international range of contributors, the volume addresses questions from a psychoanalytic vantage point which have considerable meaning in clinical work with children who have ADHD. They examine the role of trauma and attachment problems as both a possible antecedent to ADHD, and as an outgrowth of ADHD which predisposes the child to limitations in emotion regulation, social adversity, an even maltreatment. Several questions pertinent to psychodynamic treatment and relevant case studies are discussed including: a) the viability of psychoanalysis/psychodynamic treatment for ADHD children b) the impact of early traumatic experience on the child’s specific weaknesses in attention, over-reactivity and dysregulation c) contributions of problems in object relations and regressive defences to ADHD symptoms d) and the importance of other intrapsychic issues. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Infant, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy.
Download or read book Socio emotional Resilience in Children with ADHD written by Emma A. Climie and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Understanding outcomes for any given population requires consideration of the variables that may act as protective or risk factors both singularly and in interaction with one another. The current study proposed to adapt concepts of resilience and thriving to the special population of children with ADHD ... . Our primary goal is to identify the most salient factors at the individual, family, and community levels that can support competence and well-being in this highly heterogeneous population. To better understand the abilities as well as challenges of children with ADHD, a number of research goals were identified. These goals were primarily exploratory in nature and aimed to provide a more general understanding of the protective factors that may support children with ADHD in achieving success. Three overarching goals of this work were delineated: 1. To create a comprehensive model of thriving and resilience in school-aged children with Attention/Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Through the exploration of multi-dimensional pathways, this model will incorporate typical child development milestones as well as fundamental deficits in ADHD in order to create a parsimonious resilience model. 2. To identify general and ADHD-specific protective and compensatory factors at individual, family, and community levels that may aid children with ADHD in achieving greater positive outcomes, specifically identifying factors that may support their social and emotional functioning. 3. To gain a greater understanding of the ADHD population while identifying those who may be at higher risk for having more negative outcomes. Subsequently, it will also be important to provide a focus for treatment and management of ADHD symptoms."--Pages 3, 5.

This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disease) is a common emotional and behavioral disorder that can disrupt a child's academic and social functioning. ADHD is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and motor activity that are developmentally inappropriate. Within an educational setting, children with attention problems form a unique group with a wide range of demands. Although there are various issues linked with children who have been diagnosed with ADHD, many parents and educators are concerned about social skill impairments. The most unpleasant element of ADHD-related deficits is not being accepted by one's peer group, feeling separated, strange, unlikeable, and alone, and these experiences have long-term consequences. It's crucial to maintain positive relationships with people. Though children with ADHD really want to make friends and be accepted by their peers, they frequently lack the skills to do so. The good news is that you can assist your child in developing these social abilities and skills.

ADHD is characterized by the following groups of behaviors: Inattention -- making careless mistakes -- difficulty sustaining attention -- problems with listening -- failure to finish schoolwork or chores -- difficulties organizing -- trouble sustaining mental efforts -- losing things -- being easily distracted -- forgetfulness Hyperactivity/Impulsivity -- fidgeting/squirming -- trouble staying seated -- inappropriate running/climbing -- difficulty playing quietly -- being on the go/driven -- talking excessively -- blurting out answers -- difficulty awaiting turn -- often interrupting All children display many of these behaviors at some point. But-according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, Fourth Edition, for a child to be diagnosed with ADHD, six or more of these symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity must have persisted for at least six months. Is Your Child Hyperactive? Inattentive? Impulsive? Distractible? offers an invaluable step-by-step program already used by thousands of parents to help you change these behaviors at home.

Book excerpt: From renowned mental health expert and speaker Dr. Gabor Maté, Scattered Minds explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD) as genetically based—and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition. In this breakthrough guide to understanding, treating, and healing Attention Deficit Disorder, Dr. Gabor Maté, bestselling author of The Myth of Normal, and himself diagnosed with ADD: Demonstrates that the condition is not a genetic “illness” but a response to environmental stress Explains that in ADD, circuits in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention control fail to develop in infancy – and why Shows how ‘distractibility’ is the psychological product of life experience Allows parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick, and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviors Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood Presents a program of how to promote this development in both children and adults Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Maté believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In Scattered Minds, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults. While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Maté moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, without blaming anyone, Scattered Minds is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD sufferers in North America today.
