Title: Academic and Educational Outcomes of Children with ADHD
Author: Irene M. loe, Heidi M. Feldman

Year: 2006
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with poor grades, poor reading and math standardized test scores, and increased grade retention. ADHD is also associated with increased use of school-based services, increased rates of detention and expulsion, and ultimately with relatively low rates of high school graduation and postsecondary education. Children in community samples who show symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity with or without formal diagnoses of ADHD also show poor academic and educational outcomes. Pharmacologic treatment and behavior management are associated with reduction of the core symptoms of ADHD and increased academic productivity, but not with improved standardized test scores or ultimate educational attainment. Future research must use conceptually based outcome measures in prospective, longitudinal, and community-based studies to determine which pharmacologic, behavioral, and educational interventions can improve academic and educational outcomes of children with ADHD.
b) ADHD is directly related to low grades, poor reading, and continued retention, symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. deft Thus the pharmacological treatment and behavior management are associated with the reduction of the main symptoms of the disorder (ADHD). in this way must be based on research that educational interventions should be made to improve academic performance.
c) This article is very functional for understanding that children with special needs cannot have a level of academic demands as well as others such as teachers must implement strategies within the classroom which will allow them to feel comfortable, accepted and included and conduct all their activities as best as possible, this is how we as teachers achieve harmony in the classroom and normal development of the class.
In my day job I bring this article too, as research for my job that I learn much more from the topic and improved strategies to support children with special needs.

Children with Special Needs ADHD

Medication, Behavioral therapy, Parent training, Counseling, Education, diet. An audiovisual medium was better suited to give an approach to the foundations of my research project. considering that the ADHD has biological origins that are not yet clearly understood, is heading this disorder for those who suffer, to detect, treat considering that the ADHD is usually related to other problems or conditions associated for this reason it difficult to detect. After realizing that symptoms appear, the next step is to treat it with medication and behavioral therapies, so it has been shown to be more effective the training therapies. Finally parents is crucial for proper treatment, improved emotional level , social and academic of the affected child.
