ADHD Case Study

Paper Summary:

This paper presents a case study of a six-year old girl who was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD). The paper presents an observation of the family and the specific child in particular and presents the observer's opinions about the nature of the disorder and how the parents are coping with her diagnosis and attempting to help her overcome any limitations she experiences.

From the Paper:

"After this evening's events, I was struck by how much better Robin was able to contain her activity level earlier in the evening. The mother told me that Robin functioned much better when structure was better and tended to become extremely active and sometimes even dangerously and impulsively active as structure decreased. She told me then that Robin had recently been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). She reported that both she and Marie have the inattentive form of the disorder but that Marie was diagnosed with the hyperactive type."
