  ADHD can lead to problems with:  Organization  Becoming Easily Frustrated  Social Interactions  This can affect a child’s ability to learn and perform in the classroom.  Reference: NCLD Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

  LD is a broad category that covers problems in all aspects of education. The causes of LD are unknown.  While ADHD is not the same as having a learning disability, approximately 1/3 of people with learning disabilities also have ADHD.  Reference: NCLD ADHD vs LD

  ADHD tends to run in families and may have something to do with genetics, although science is still not sure of the causes of ADHD.  Other Possible Causes of ADHD  Environmental Factors  Cigarette smoke, alcohol, lead  Brain Injury  Reference: NCLD Causes of ADHD

  Inattentive  Hyperactive  Impulsive Symptoms

  Trouble Focusing  Easily bored  Forgetful  Daydreaming  Trouble following directions  Doesn’t seem to listen  Reference: NIMH Inattentive

  Constantly moving or seeming restless  Unable to complete tasks quietly  The need to touch or play with any objects within sight  Trouble sitting still during quiet times  Reference: NIMH Hyperactive

  Impatient  Blurt out comments  Unrestrained emotions  Interrupts others  Trouble taking turns  Reference: NIMH Impulsive

  If a parent or teacher suspects a child may have ADHD, evaluations can be preformed to see if the child has ADHD and requires special education services.  Each state has a Parent Training and Information Center and a Protection and Advocacy Agency that will help children get their evaluations.  Reference : NIMH Diagnosing ADHD

  ADHD can continue to affect a child well into their teen years and even adulthood.  That is why it is so important to have children evaluated and diagnosed as soon as possible. This eliminates unnecessary risks in the future.  Reference: NIMH ADHD Throughout Life
