He may jump lines. He may not judge distances correctly or his eyes may not tell his limbs to do the right thing, interfering with his ability to catch a ball. Or the disability may be auditory, in which there may be a time lag between when words are spoken to a child and when he comprehends them. Parents may need to speak slowly. Or the individual may put words in the wrong order or misunderstand. For example, there is a difference in the meaning of the word sidered, such as being sure the didog if one says the dog or you is accurate. Also, parents dog, Belnap says.

About 85 percent of children who need medication for their hyperactivity andor distractibili-t- y will no longer need it by adolescence; however, about 15 percent may need medication throughout adolescence and possibly into young adult life, Belnap says. The solution sounds simple, but there are other factors to be cony, Children who were once labeled as having trouble buckling down or getting their work done, are now referred to as those who have difficulty staying on task. The term may be new, but the problem is an old one. These children used to be accused of daydreaming and being troublemakers. Teachers and parents sometimes thought children who squirmed in their seats, simplify. The real problem is a disorder wanting to get up and wander around or look out the window, of the nervous system. In some were dumb or lazy.

Motor disabilities appear in large muscle use as clumsiness, and in the small muscles used in writing. Hyperactivity and distractibility can be caused by worrying or depression, not just ADD, Belnap says. Distractibility occurs when the nervous system cannot filter out unimportant occurances or stimuli happening around the child. Emotional and social problems arise because of frustrations from failing and feeling inadequate. The ADD child may become aggressive, hostile or depressed. It is not surprising that these children often do not get along with children their age. They cannot successfully do what their peers do, says Belnap. After proper diagnosis by a trained physician and after medicine has been prescribed, Belnap suggests that parents meet with school teachers and work together Cray-thorn- e, Ha-ze- n, Geri-lyn- len, Carrie Niederhauser, Timothy Olds, Scott Oleson, Gary Palmer, Natalie Peek, Tamara Poll, Janet Rampton, Lisa Sayama, Lannie Sears, Ellen Taylor, Kathryn Weeb, Larry Weeding, Eulalia Yazzie.
