Attention Deficit with Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Behavioral disorder affects 6% of US school age children
• Ranges from mild to severe• Child has inattention, impulsiveness and
hyperactivity developmentally inappropriate for the age w/o deficits in intelligence
• Etiology is unknown• Suspect genetic component• Possible neurologic abnormality• Increased incidence in males
![Page 5: Sensory-Cognitive. Common Sensory-Cognitive Disorders in Children ADHD Cerebral Palsy Cognitive Impairment Depression Autistic Spectrum Disorders Downs.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d585503460f94a38283/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
SymptomsSymptoms
Attention Deficit
• unable to complete tasks effectively due to inattention or impulsivityHyperactivity
• excessive or exaggerated muscular activity
• Often have an “engaging Personality”
*symptoms must be present in at least 2 settings*must have been present before age 7
![Page 6: Sensory-Cognitive. Common Sensory-Cognitive Disorders in Children ADHD Cerebral Palsy Cognitive Impairment Depression Autistic Spectrum Disorders Downs.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d585503460f94a38283/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
AssessmentAssessment• Can not be made by diagnostic tests, imaging,
etc.• Diagnosis is confirmed by comprehensive tests• Assessment usually begins in school• Need to have exact description “all or none”
reaction to stimuli• Difficulty with right & left, today & tomorrow• Difficulty with common tasks • Awkward motor movements• Early identification is critical
• Maladaptive behavior patterns• Exposed to negative feedback
![Page 7: Sensory-Cognitive. Common Sensory-Cognitive Disorders in Children ADHD Cerebral Palsy Cognitive Impairment Depression Autistic Spectrum Disorders Downs.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d585503460f94a38283/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ManagementManagement**A Multiple approach is needed
Environmental Manipulation• Stable learning environment with special
instruction• Encourage parents to be fair but firm• Encourage parents to build self-esteem• Correct bad behavior immediately • Assign age appropriate chores with slow
instructions
![Page 8: Sensory-Cognitive. Common Sensory-Cognitive Disorders in Children ADHD Cerebral Palsy Cognitive Impairment Depression Autistic Spectrum Disorders Downs.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d585503460f94a38283/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ManagementManagementMedication (Stimulants)
Ritalin, Cylert, Dexedrine, Adderal• Work by increasing dopamine and
norepinephrine levels• Should be used in adjunct to
environmental manipulation and therapySide effects:• insomnia (give first thing in morning)• anorexia (monitor height & weight)Diet: nothing substantiated in research

ManagementManagementFamily support
• Remind parents to be patient
• Usually a “childhood condition”
• Resolves by adolescence (increased attention span, ability to filter stimuli improves)
• Long Term Planning is still necessary

SpasticSpastic• may involve one or both sides of body• hypertonicity with poor control of posture, balance,
and coordinated movement• impaired fine and gross motor skills• active attempts at movement increase abnormal
posture• Because of excessive energy expended, these children
often need more calories.

Institutional vs.Institutional vs.home carehome care
• severe & profound need constant supervision
• mild & moderate can live at home and keep normal routines or group home setting when older: home atmosphere that allows community experiences

Health maintenance Health maintenance needsneeds
• treat child according to intellectual age not chronological age
Illness:
• may be more difficult to detect illness
• cannot describe pain, respond with generalized crying like an infant

Safety for the Child with a Cognitive Safety for the Child with a Cognitive ImpairmentImpairment
• Safety is a persistent concern for children with cognitive impairments
• The child’s maturation in anticipating danger, in problem solving, and in judgment are generally impaired across the life span
• Children with motor disabilities are often unable to perform skills in ways that foster safety

Self-care activities Self-care activities
• need to learn the maximum amount of self-care possible
• leads to sense of control and accomplishment
• play activities a good teaching tool• choose toys appropriate for
developmental age

Social relationshipsSocial relationships• ability to communicate is often
delayed because speech is delayed• teach early social behavior (thank
you, excuse me, taking turns)
Preparation for adulthood: • Teach socially acceptable sexual
behaviors (abuse, pregnancy)

Down SyndromeDown Syndrome• Most common chromosomal abnormality• Etiology unknown
• Late maternal age identified
• Caused by extra chromosome (nondisjunstion) failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis or (translocation) fusion of two chromosomes
• Usually chromosome 21 and 15• Can be diagnosed in utero

Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations
• Small, square head• Upward slant of eyes• Flat nasal bridge• Protruding tongue• Mottled skin• Transverse palmar crease• Hypotonia• Should do chromosomal analysis to confirm
diagnosis

Types of Refractive DisordersTypes of Refractive Disorders
• Myopia• Nearsightedness• Ability to see close objects more clearly than those at a

up• Caused by the image focusing beyond the retina
