Level of Knowledge and Awareness of BEED Students in Handling Pupils with ADHD
We want to study about ADHD to raise awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and
treatment. Without ADHD awareness, many children and adults continue to struggle. There may
be as many as 15 million adults and children in the U.S. with ADHD, based upon prevalence
studies and the 2010 census data. ADHD is also one of the most common disorders of childhood.
Despite this, there is a huge amount of bad and misleading information on the internet and in the
media about the condition. In addition, there are people with ADHD who have never been
diagnosed but have lives filled with problems directly related to the symptoms.
Experts say ADHD is more common in men than women. To provide an overview that the
condition isn’t as rare as is commonly believed, here are some statistics from the ADHD

What is ADHD? Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects children and teens and
can continue into adulthood. ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder of
children. Children with ADHD may be hyperactive and unable control their impulses. Or they
may have trouble paying attention. Effects if not handle child with ADHD? Not getting treatment
for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can affect more than just a child’s ability to
sit still. In some cases, it can have long-term effects on things such as substance abuse, driving
ability, and eating habits. In many cases, the risks of not treating ADHD outweigh the potential
side effects of stimulant medications, which can include loss of appetite, potential slowing of
growth in childhood, and increased blood pressure or heart rate. Studies have recognized a
number of potential problems that can develop out of untreated ADHD. One is substance abuse.
Stimulant medication commonly used to treat ADHD is a controlled substance, which indicates a
possibility of addiction. However, in the doses prescribed for ADHD, these stimulants are not

First, teachers are individuals, each with their background, knowledge, and experience. While

there are also many teachers who have, through their compassion, knowledge, and methods,
opened the door to learning and personal growth in ways that have been life-changing. Most
teachers go into their profession with the intention of enlightening the lives of the children they
touch. Which leads me to the second issue. Most teachers, especially general education teachers,
are not specifically taught how to recognize ADHD, or how to teach and support children with
ADHD. They may receive a general overview of the symptoms, but they are not given extensive
education about the many issues involved in supporting a child with ADHD. It is this second
issue that creates the greatest concern and potentially devastating impact on children. Here are
some of the concerns it raises: ADHD involves a great deal more than impulsivity, hyperactivity,
and inattentiveness. It impacts many areas of learning, including their ability to manage their
materials, time, emotions, and productivity. Without a full understanding of how ADHD is
impacting the specific child in the classroom, a teacher might, unknowingly or unintentionally,
make assumptions that are false about that child. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed and researched childhood disorders (Barkley,
