ADHD-Experts?

I am writing a paper on ADHD and presenting this along with a “visual” as part of the presentation.

I want my viewers to be part of the presentation; As they would get the effect as though they were experiencing what a child may be hearing while in a classroom.

Any helpful ideas….the only one I have so far is having background music or similar ON while I am presenting the info..Can anyone come up with a better one?

Blessings-

Faith

If you can use a TV or computer screen to run video, you can use clips with a duration of about 10 to 15 seconds each to simulate the length of the affected person’s attention span. Use some of your friends to simulate a classroom, and have them talking to each other, but change the subject when the clip changes. At the end, question the ADHD person what they remember about the clips, but make sure they don’t remember much. Case closed.

No, the rapid fire of visual images isn’t it at all. If you had a video of a shell game (3 shells, a ball is put under one and the things are shuffled, audience has to guess where the shell is) then run the video and make it clear that they need to know where the ball is each round. Now play audio of several conversations which cross fade in and out with a static track in there as well. 3-4 conversations should do it.

Now, to win the door prize, don’t ask them about the outcome of each of the shell games (even though you stressed that) but ask them questions about the conversations that were fading in and out.

Best i could come up with.

Ritalin looks to remedy various the ADHD indications which makes the instructor’s activity easier. even nonetheless, it motives extremely some misery later in life while the guy gets into person stressful circumstances. This in many situations finally ends up in tremendous melancholy, falling into drug use and suicidal dispositions in teen age and youthful person years. using Ritalin has grow to be especially arguable by using this. Get yet another opinion. that is needed to study the e book “The Edison Gene—ADHD–the present of the Hunter baby” by utilising Thom Hartmann. Get it on Amazon as a used e book and pay little or no.

You would be better showing that ADHD does not exist and that it is really a form of autism but the doctors are too into making money and filling their quota of patients than spending time finding out what the child really has. They have parents come in with children who are “hyper” so they put them on Ritalin or Adderal or whatever the drug of the day is and call them cured. Meanwhile the drugs make the child with autism worse. To answer your question, put bright colorful displays all over the room, give them things to look at on their desks, and have them take notes. This is the life of a child with autism basically. Too much overstimulation.
