Week 1 Research



The research topic that I have chosen is How does ADHD affect school performance in preschool. I think most children with ADHD can be diagnosed in preschool but do to their age a lot of physician like to wait until the children are in grade school before a diagnosis is made. I chose this topic because I have a son who experiences ADHD and has been diagnosis’s since kindergarten.

I really did not understand the process at first, but I hope I have chosen a topic what would be of interest to me and well as my classmate.

  1. Hi Laketha,
    Thank you for sharing the topic you chose for the research simulation. I am very familiar with ADHD and just recently completed a training to become more informed on the area when working with young children. I have noticed many children as early as 3 years old with symptoms of ADHD and I have referred the parents to the necessary resources. I think if the parent is adament that their child be evalated, the physician will comply with the parent's request. My husband was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and he still has a hard time focusing on one task at a time. I have learned to work around his diagnosis to get whatever work I need done around the house. I look forward to reading all the information you have to offer on this topic.

    Thanks,
    Shayla

  3. Hi Laketha,

    I think that the topic you have chosen will be of interest to all of us. I know and have worked with children with ADHD and I would be very interested in reading your findings on this topic. I believe it will help us learn how to best meet the needs of such children so that their school performance is not affected. Good luck!
