Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Digest #445.
Scott, Mary E.
The term "attention deficit disorder" (ADD) is defined, criteria used by the American Psychiatric Association in diagnosing ADD are listed, and possible causes noted. Remediation needs of children with ADD include attention skills, self-esteem, and social skills. Early diagnosis is important, and teachers and parents need to identify effective reinforcement systems to deal with impulsivity and hyperactivity as well as specific skill deficits in perceptual and cognitive areas. Lists of general and specific remediation references conclude this brief analysis. (JW)
