For my KT assignment, I wanted to learn about ADHD in childhood/adulthood and examine the effects this disorder has on cognitive development. I believe this topic is important to discuss because ADHD is one of the most common disorders diagnosed in childhood. It is important for parents and teachers to learn about ADHD because it can have lifelong impacts on the child and the family. There are many unanswered questions about ADHD and the effects it has on cognitive development and the effects that treatments of ADHD have on cognitive development, so it is important to bring this discussion to light to examine issues surrounding this disorder. Children are the future of society, so it is important to understand what positively affects their cognitive development and what negatively affects their cognitive development. This artifact is meant to educate teachers and parents about the effects ADHD has on cognitive development, treatments for ADHD, and what they can do to help support a child with ADHD.
