| Anna’s Diagnosis of ADHD: Agree or Disagree? |
| Instructions: Anna, the five-year-old described in M2: Assignment 1, was diagnosed with ADHD. Decide whether or not you agree with the diagnosis. In at least 300 words, explain your reasons for agreeing or disagreeing with the diagnosis below. Support your decision with information from academic sources and cite those sources in APA format.Anna is a Mexican American who live with both of her parents. They have moved a lot since she was born, at least 10 times. Anna is going to be starting kindergarten, she completed orientation and during that time she was evaluated for speech. It was discovered that Anna is at least two years behind typical speech development. During kindergarten orientation Anna was acting hyperactive, she was distracted, unable to stay in her seat and was unable to complete a task given to her. The school psychologist recommend that her parents have her evaluated further. Anna’s parents had her evaluated at a local mental health clinic where she was evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD. She has started behavioral therapy with a bilingual therapist. In a few weeks she will be evaluated by a psychiatrist to see if adding a stimulant is needed. Anna is showing the symptoms of ADHD, I am agreeing on the diagnosis. Anna was having trouble staying with a task and was easily distracted during her kindergarten orientation. She also has the hyperactive symptom. During her orientation she was acting hyperactive and unable to stay in her seat. At this age she should be able to stay on task, stay in her seat and not get easily distracted. Behavioral therapy is the right course for Anna, early intervention will help her long term. Her teachers, parents and therapist can all work together to help Anna be successful in school and at home. If medication is something that she needs then a psychiatrist will make that call and they will work with her behavioral therapist and family to get the right kind and dosage (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) |
