Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder, or ADHD, is a common neurobehavioral developmental disorder that starts during childhood. In fact, about 8-10 percent of school age children have ADHD.
Your child may need to be evaluated for ADHD if he or she:
has difficulty focusing or sustaining attention on one activity
is restless and has difficulty sitting still
blurts out answers before hearing the whole question
is constantly interrupting others
has problems with organization
frequently loses things
has difficulty waiting for his or her turn (such as in a line or in a conversation)
has difficulty following instructions
It is absolutely true that most children exhibit some of these behaviors some of the time; ADHD should be considered when these symptoms are more pronounced than in the child’s peers and have occurred for at least several months. ADHD should also be considered if your child is not progressing as expected in school, especially if his or her teacher is reporting daydreaming, excessive talking, or difficulty getting work done.
