What ADHD Looks Like Through the Eyes of a Child

Amymarlatt — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:15:04 GMT

ADHD looks different to a child than to a parent. First it is very hard for them to concentrate and focus even when they want to. Parents need to understand how hard they are trying. ADHD children may not listen to what you say because of their emotional responses. They react to the tone of voice and not necessarily to the words. It's important to remember that living daily with ADHD is difficult for children and learning why that is difficult may help you have a better and easier relationship.

The Spadafore ADHD Rating Scale (S-ADHD-RS) is used for children ages five to nineteen to not only diagnose ADHD but also test for the severity of ADHD. It is a fifty item questionnaire on the three clusters of behavior. These include impulsivity/hyperactivity, attention, and social adjustment.
