This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorder, marked by symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. These symptoms contribute to difficulties with psychosocial functioning, often leading to feelings of inferiority. Several studies identify that those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have lower self-perceptions with risks for comorbidities and poor quality of life. However, few studies have attempted to provide interventions to increase the self-perceptions of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Most interventions for those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder focus on giving medications and implementing behavioral modification techniques to externally control behaviors. However, this scholarly project focuses on an internal approach of a social empowerment support group to provide insight or pattern recognition to motivate change or pattern transformation, aligning with Newman's Health as Expanding Consciousness Theory. By developing higher levels of understanding and interactions, those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder will increase the perception of their ability to successfully navigate more complex challenges. The preadolescent participants of this social empowerment support group demonstrated increased self-perception scores after attending. Since attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is considered a chronic disorder and level of functioning determines life satisfaction, this scholarly project creates awareness of the importance for practitioners to assess self-perception of functioning and provide interventions that promote self-efficacy for ongoing improvement of functioning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rated one of the "Best ADHD Books of All Time" by Book Authority The ADHD Empowerment Guide is different from other parenting ADHD books because it helps parents identify and build upon their child's strengths and natural talents in order to develop a specific plan to unlock their child's potential. Parents are invited to complete two easy-to-follow questionnaires to identify their child's natural abilities, as well as determine key characteristics in their child that research has shown to help children with ADHD succeed in life. These characteristics include emotional control, integrity, grit, resiliency, resourcefulness, organization, motivation, school fit, support systems, and productive use of technology. Using the practical strategies presented, strength-building activities, and the information learned from the questionnaires, parents can develop a success plan that will unlock their child's potential and build a positive outlook on the journey of raising a child with ADHD. The authors, two professionals who have “been there and done that” with their own children with ADHD, illustrate their strategies and content by highlighting successful people with ADHD who excelled in various areas and share some of their success secrets to raising a successful child with ADHD.

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

Abstract: This waitlist-controlled study aimed to evaluate the effects of the "Development Of Executive Skills (DOES)" program (Education Bureau, HKSAR, 2010) on the executive functions of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder symptoms. Sixteen participants (15 boys, 1 girl), aged 7 to 8 years (M = 7.95, SD = 0.59), were recruited voluntarily from a local service center. Half of them, the DOES group, received the 7 weekly training sessions after the pre-tests; the other half, the Waitlist group, joined the same program after the post-tests. Their demographic characteristics, medical conditions and nonverbal intelligence were comparable. Cognitive measures and parent observations assessing their executive skills and social behavioral functions were taken before the study, after the training for the DOES group and that for the Waitlist group. No statistically significant intervention effect was found. Effect size analyses, however, suggested potential social benefits of the program. Recommendations on improving the program effectiveness were discussed.
