AB  - Attention  deficit  hyperactivity  disorder  (AD/HD)  is  a  condition  typically  first  evident  in  early  childhood.  Symptoms  include  deficits  in  attention,  concentration,  and  short-term  memory.  Behaviorally,  children  with  AD/HD  are  overly  active  (as  if  “driven  by  a  motor”)  and  unable  to  remain  seated,  highly  distractible,  and  impulsive.  Concerns  about  AD/HD  often  initially  arise  during  kindergarten  or  first  grade,  since  these  deficits  significantly  impair  academic  performance  and  are  disruptive  in  a  typical  classroom.  However,  AD/HD  is  increasingly  viewed  as  a  lifelong  condition  with  functional  impairment  extending  throughout  adulthood.
