ADHD in Girls

November 6, 2017 By Y3K

Many young girls and women have a subtype called predominantly inattentive ADHD.  They may seem flighty or spacy but are not hyperactive.  This might not raise a red flag with teachers or parents.  As a result, girls often go without treatment until they reach adulthood.  The use of ADHD medication among women ages 26 to 34 has risen 85% in just 5 years! 

Tomorrow we will look at why girls are frequently overlooked for treatment.

Classroom Difficulties (Part 9: Causes)

September 20, 2017 By Y3K

The written teacher evaluation and classroom observation information will help clarify the potential causes of a child’s difficulty in the classroom. In order to help a child, the teacher and the parents must consider many possible causes for the student’s difficulty. Without a careful evaluation, a child may be inappropriately labeled as a “behavior problem” or “special needs”.

Classroom Difficulties (Part 8: Never Tell)

September 19, 2017 By Y3K

An extremely important thing to note is the child should not be told they are personally being observed. People that know they are being observed tend to step up their game. The teacher should notify the students that someone is visiting the class to observe the teacher or may have a student in the class next year and seeing how they do things.

Is your student mislabeled as special needs or a behavior problem? Tomorrow we will address this as our series on classroom difficulty continues.

Classroom Difficulties (Part 6: Part of the Process)

September 17, 2017 By Y3K

The second reason the teacher should never conduct the classroom observation is because they are a part of the process being evaluated. The teacher could be the one causing the student to have difficulty in the classroom in the first place. The observer needs to be able to see all aspects of the classroom including the students and the teacher all with an open mind.

Tomorrow we will take a closer look at exactly who should and should not be conducting the classroom observation.

Classroom Difficulties (Part 5: Teacher Not Allowed)

September 16, 2017 By Y3K

There are two reasons that the teacher must not be allowed to do the classroom observation for a troubled student. The first reason is because they have already made up their mind. They already have opinions and won’t be able to look at the situation with an open mind.

Tomorrow we will discuss a second reason that you should not allow the classroom teacher to do the observation of your child. You will not want to miss this one!
