Before I read, here are my thoughts: What do I already know about learners with ADHD in a few words (you can list terms or share a few experiences youve had)?I know it can be hard for the child to focus and stay attentive. What questions do I have?What are some good techniques to use to regain the childs attention? Rating my knowledge: Please rate your knowledge before you read using this scale: 1.I dont feel like I know anything about this topic. 2.Ive heard some of the terms, but couldnt tell you what they mean 3.I feel fairly comfortable with the key concepts, but want to know more. 4.I know all about this, and could teach this section.2 As I read, here are my thoughts about the topics in this chapter (summarize what youve learned be sure to focus your writing on how you can support students with disabilities in the classroom: Main TopicKey Points Minimal brain injuryA label applied to students of normal intelligence, who were inattentive, impulsive, and/or hyperactive. Hyperactive child syndromeWas descriptive of behavior and didnt rely on vague and unreliable diagnosis of subtle brain damage. NeurotransmittersAre chemicals that help in sending messages between neurons in the brain. Executive functionsDescribes the number of processes involved in controlling and regulating behavior. Behavioral inhibitionInvolves the ability to delay a response, interrupt an ongoing response or protect a response from distracting or competing with stimuli. Adaptive behavior skillsAssociated with retardation and intellectual disabilities. Defined as impairments in intelligence and adaptive behavior. Functional behavioral assessment (FBA)Involves determining the consequences, antecedents and setting events that maintain inappropriate behaviors. Contingency-based self-managementInvolves having people keep track of their own behavior and then receive consequences, usually in the form of rewards, based on their behaviors. PsychostimulantsStimulate or activate neurological functioning, mostly prescribed for ADHD. Paradoxical effect of RitalinRitalin influences the transmitters Dopamine and norepinephrine, thus enabling the brains executive functions to operate more normally. Momentary time samplingAllows the teacher to conduct brief observations and collect data on a specific set of behaviors. CoachingInvolves identifying someone on whom the person with ADHD can rely on for support. Conduct disorderDid not see a section on Conduct Disorder in the book After I read, here are my thoughts: Summarize what youve learned about students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.They can be treated with medicine by it is more preferred to have interventions in place before putting the child on a medicine.
