And always be on the lookout for the child who isolates himself from the hurt others cause. Notice the loner who has the intelligence to succeed but doesn't seem to put out the effort. There's also the quiet, shy one who would rather not be called on in class and has few friends. These are your possible ADDers. Please, try and find us.
Parental contact is first and foremost.
Working with the parents, you may find clues to the way the child operates. Question them about their child's attention swings, daydreaming and irritation with changes in routine. Try to help the child with individual attention. Once you are convinced of the existence of ADD or ADHD, inform school administrators. Please, try and find us.
