...ch other on these ratings. A child may be seen as a five in restlessness by his teacher and the same child’s parents may rate him a three. There also is the problem of is a five exactly one point more restless than a four. We don’t know because the test is of people’s opinion. Other tests are also used to test the child for symptoms of attention deficit hyperactive disorder. These tests often are continuous performance tasks. These tests also have some problems with detecting attention deficit hyperactive disorder. The first the fact that these tests are nothing like what the child has done or will do in any social or education setting. Making the test very hard to generalize to what the child will be doing in real life. The last main problem with these test are that they are tested for validity by seeing if they can tell the difference between to groups of children one with attention deficit hyperactive disorder and one normal, but where the groups originally labeled by a test that was validated in the same way. Basically we have no original test that is valid in itself and can be used as the standard for other test. Some proponents for attention deficit hyperactive disorder argue that once a person is diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactive disorder they can seek treatment and become an active person in their social setting. The experts on attention deficit hyperactive disorder say that the best approach for treating a child with attention deficit hyperactive disorder is a multimodal approach that uses a mix of medical, educational, behavioral, and psychological intervention. In this the child is often put on medication suck as Ritalin that seems to have a calming affect on the child. With the medication the child is often prescribed to form of specialized learning to try to keep the child’s attention. The child is also set on a schedule of behavior modification which usually includes positive reinforcement. These children also benefit from one on one help and other programs in the classroom setting that improve the learning atmosphere for that child. There are many problems with the treatment of attention deficit hyperactive disorder that I can see. For starters the medication that used is a stimulant that is more powerful than cocaine. I have to wonder what the long term effects of the prolonged use of such a powerful stimulant on young minds and bodies. And since we do not have much information on the long term effects of the medications used on the children with attention deficit hyperactive disorder we may not know the effects whether they are good or bad until it is too late to help the child. There also is the effect that the drugs do have on the child often causing the child to become zombie like in nature and act quite unnatural for a child. As for the other treatments of attention deficit hyperactive disorder I see no reason that they should only be used on a child with attention deficit hyperactive disorder. In fact I wonder if that is the difference the fact that those children with attention deficit hyperactive disorder are not receiving the one on one attention that they need, and that they are not receiving the discipline that is needed to develop a well behaved child. We live in a society that does not allow a child to be punished. We can only talk to the child and try to reason with them and if that does not work we can send them to a time out. But the truth is that this does not work on every child some children need stricter punishments and guidelines. But all children would benefit from a program that gives them a system that is designed to work with for them. The next issue that I will look at is the existence of medical evidence that supports attention deficit hyperactive disorder. The first and most moving evidence in support of attention deficit hyperactive disorder is the clinical records of millions of people that have been diagnosed and treated for attention deficit hyperactive disorder. Also there is the evidence of a medical foundation due to the predictability certain drugs have on the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactive disorder. This is believed to be proof that attention deficit hyperactive disorder has a medical foundation that just has not been discovered yet. Proponents also argue that there is genetic evidence in the fact that attention deficit hyperactive disorder seems to be inheritable much like manic depression and other mental illnesses that group together in families. Another piece of evidence that supports the medical idea of attention deficit hyperactive disorder is the study of sugar metabolism, which measures brain activity, in certain areas of the brain. In 1990 a study was done on thirty adult brains that had a childhood history of attention deficit hyperactive disorder. By using PET scans the researchers where able to tell just how much sugar was being absorbed by the different areas of the brain. Attention deficit hyperactive disorder sufferers where shown to have absorbed less sugar in the areas of the brain that regulate impulse control, attention, and mood. The problem with this proof that attention deficit hyperactive disorder exist is that most of it is not backed by more research actually some of it has been proven wrong by further studies. The first is the proof that attention deficit hyperactive disorder exists ...
