Observation of ADHD Child
The main topic of this paper is how children with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (also, known as ADHD) live and learn. I have examined a child named Alex, who is 9 years old today. I have lived with Alex for 4 years of his life. Alex has been diagnosed as an ADHD child at the age of 4 and a half. I will evaluate how Alex process information and how he reacts to social and environmental changes. The following is an example of an afternoon and evening of an ADHD child. These children are very ritualistic in nature. For example, I have lived with my brother, Alex who is 9 years old. Alex has a set routine, every day he must go through this routine or he will feel that he has experienced a change and this could result in a feeling of no control. If there is an interruption in his routine it will cause an outbreak of emotions. Thus the routine should be followed with minimal changes and reinforcement of possible changes that may occur. Here is an example of Alex’s after school routine: - At 4 p.m. Alex must watch a certain cartoon, to take a break or rest from school. - At 5 p.m., Alex usually plays with a puzzle or certain project that is assigned to him by parents. This assignment is usually a 3D puzzle, which he likes
