Two articles based on Dr. Wachtels October 2011 presentation for SKLD are available on the SKLD website.”Is ADHD the Only Problem Your Child Faces” states that ADHD affects 9.5% of American children, and that “the diagnostic core of the disorder is not hyperactivity, as people generally believe, but inattention, poor executive functioning, and an inability to stay on task.”

Alan B. Wachtel, M.D. is a board certified psychiatrist and director of Familyhealth Associates, a multi-disciplinary private group practice specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of attention, behavior, learning, and mood disorders.

Is It ADHD or a Different Learning Style? Educational Psychologist Comments on Recent ADHD Guideline Changes

Apr 8, 2012   //   by   //   Blog  //  No Comments

gI 80867 picfirst logo Is It ADHD or a Different Learning Style? Educational Psychologist Comments on Recent ADHD Guideline Changes
Manhattan Beach, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Before we diagnose children with ADHD, we need to consider if it is simply a conflict of learning styles, Educational Psychologist Melanie West stated in January, 2012, after looking into recent ADHD guideline changes by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Many children are visual and kinesthetic learners. When forced to sit in schools that rely heavily on pencil-paper tasks and rote memorization, these types of learners become distractible, restless, and low performing often ending up being incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD.

A few months ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics increased the age range for the diagnosis and treatment of attention deficit disorder, expanding the diagnosis process for children ages 6 through 12 to now reach children ages 4 through 18.

So how exactly can a conflict of learning styles be misdiagnosed as ADHD?

Brian Palmer from Slate magazine stated that a child with ADHD will fidget, interrupt, and not play well with others…they cant focus on schoolwork, dont follow basic instructions, and lose things all the time.

These are the exact same symptoms you see in kids whose learning styles are in conflict with a specific teaching style, says Melanie West.

Kinesthetic learners, for instance, learn better when moving. A teacher or parent may consider overly active or highly distractible behavior as the cause for learning struggles when, in fact, this type of learner MUST move in order to process information. Stop the movement and NO learning will occur.

Moreover, many learners simply dont learn through drill and kill activities or memorization. These students struggle to learn not because they lack focus or attention, but because these teaching methods DONT teach this type of brain.

These same learners are commonly misdiagnosed with ADHD or with another learning disability.

Heres one example Melanie West used to demonstrate what a conflict in learning styles may look like.

In kindergarten and first grade, children are required to memorize the high frequency words (often called The Dolch Words), such as the, a, and am. These words are sometimes referred to as The Sight Words because they can not be sounded out and must be read without hesitation to build reading fluency.

For children who have a visual or kinesthetic learning style, rote memorization does not provide the visual imagery or meaning that their brains need to learn.

Surprisingly, these same children can learn to read difficult words like guitar or dinosaur because they evoke visual, meaningful information.

Before diagnosing your child with ADHD or a Learning Disability, Melanie says parents should explore alternative approaches to learning that target visual and kinesthetic processing. Medication and other treatments for ADHD will not necessarily provide your child with effective learning strategies because the approach may not be targeting your childs learning style.

The Greenspan Floortime Course for Parents of Children with Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, Aggression, and Sensory Processing Problems is Now Available Online

Apr 1, 2012   //   by   //   Blog  //  No Comments

Bethesda, Maryland (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

The Greenspan Floortime Approach announces a new video course for parents of children with special needs, now available for a special introductory offer online until May 13, 2012. Parents and professionals can view the course from the comfort of their own homes with access to course material 24-hours a day.

Parents can also download a free Guide on Childrens Learning Styles to evaluate what will help their children learn best. In addition, parents can try out an online developmental and sensory processing assessment for free before subscribing. Available on http://www.StanleyGreenspan.com

The new course, from lectures by renowned child psychiatrist Dr. Stanley I. Greenspan, helps parents understand their childs developmental delays and demonstrates how to do Floortime, where parents engage their child to expand his or her intellectual and emotional development. Results from two recent randomized, controlled studies show significant social and emotional gains in children whose parents used Floortime.

The 6-hour Course is designed especially for parents and has multiple short lectures, each viewable on-demand. Dr. Greenspan discusses multiple diagnoses such as autism, Aspergers, ADHD, sensory processing problems, OCD, anxiety, and aggression. He demonstrates how parents can help their children work through problems to reach their potential.

The developmental and sensory processing assessment lets parents assess for themselves their childs strengths and weaknesses. Through the results chart parents can track changes so that they understand what their child needs and how they can be a partner in supporting their childs overcoming challenges. Parents get to try an assessment for free before subscribing.

Four online workshops for parents and professionals cover:
