ADD/ADHD Classic Symptoms
• Persistent short attention span
• Distractibility
• Disorganization
• Procrastination
• Poor judgments
• Impulse control
• 60% of people that have ADD will have co-occurring learning disabilities.

Type 1 Classic ADD
• Prefrontal Cortex is responsible for executive functions, mediating conflicting thoughts, making choices between right and wrong, forethought, and governing social control such as suppressing emotional or sexual urges.
• Associated with qualities of sentience, human general intelligence, and personality.
![Page 7: A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO ADHD/ODD BEHAVIORS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022217/621405a5aae93701cf60e182/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Type 1 Classic ADD
• Basal Ganglia is responsible for feelings of euphoria, and is the reward center, is greatly
affected by drugs. Drugs such as cocaine and nicotine boost the dopamine receptors in this area of the brain, increasing the payoff of exposure to those substances, thus increasing chances for addictions.

Type 2: Inattentive ADD • Primary ADD symptoms plus:
– Decreased motivation
– Low energy
– Chronic Boredom
– Unable to concentrate,
– Internally preoccupied.
– Diagnosed later in life, more common in girls. These are the quiet kids and adults, often labeled indolent or unmotivated combined with simple cognitive functioning.

Type 3: Overfocused ADD • Brain Scan: Increased activity in
the anterior Cingulate Gyrus and decreased Prefrontal Cortex activity.
• Cingulate Gyrus is the part of the brain associated with shifting attention. Responsible for emotional sensations such as fear, anxiety or pleasure and the associated physical responses to those emotions.

Type 3: Overfocused ADD
Characteristics: • Instead of learning from an embarrassing,
frustrating or hurtful life experiences, they are likely to dwell on the negative feelings.
• A person will tend to say “no” without listening to the question.
• Cognitive issues such as obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders and addictions are linked to this neurological component.
• These children are often found in families with addiction or obsessive compulsive issues

Type 4: Temporal Lobe ADD
• Symptoms: Type 1 symptoms plus inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity and mood instability, aggression, mild paranoia, anxiety with little provocation, atypical headaches or abdominal pain, visual or auditory illusions, and learning problems especially reading and auditory processing.

Type 4: Temporal Lobe ADD
• Temporal lobe activity enhances mood stability, while increased or decreased activity in this part of the brain leads to fluctuating, inconsistent or unpredictable moods and behaviors.
![Page 21: A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO ADHD/ODD BEHAVIORS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022217/621405a5aae93701cf60e182/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Type 5: Limbic ADD
• The limbic lobe is made up of a number of systems that support memory, learning, emotion and perception.
• The cortex also helps join the limbic system and emotion.
• In the limbic system is where dopamine modulates habit formation by enhancing the neural correlation between pleasure and a given behavior.

• Type 1 ADD, plus having extreme moodiness, oppositional behavior, racing thoughts, excessive talking, easily triggered anger outbursts, and hypersensitivity to lights and sounds.
• This is the part of the brain which is responsible for higher thought and functioning and the continuous firing is what creates the problems.

The ADHD/ODD Child
Therapeutic interventions:
• Complete Medical assessment from a Pediatrician. Meds for the ADHD.
• A Neurological and/or Psychological assessment for learning disabilities.
• Multi-Systemic Therapy - This therapy goes into the
home, school, families, friends and into the community daily and weekly as needed to work with the parent-child interactive to intervene in controlling negative behaviors between the child and parent.
![Page 33: A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO ADHD/ODD BEHAVIORS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022217/621405a5aae93701cf60e182/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The ADHD/ODD Child
MST therapeutic interventions for the child:
• Cognitive behavioral therapy – To replace negative, disruptive behaviors with positive, constructive behaviors.
• Social skills training to help a child get along better with peers, parents, and other authority figures.
• Have the youth engage in several activities, sports, gymnastics, music, the activities the child enjoys, then encourage the parent be committed to supporting them.
![Page 34: A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO ADHD/ODD BEHAVIORS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022217/621405a5aae93701cf60e182/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The ADHD/ODD Child MST interventions for the parent: To Do’s
• No isolation time-outs. This teaches them nothing.
• Avoid power struggles. Parents should selectively pick their battles.
• Remain calm and unemotional in the face of disruptive or oppositional behavior. ODD behavior feeds on negative emotions.
• Recognizing and emphasizing consistently your praise for all positive behaviors that show self-control as much as possible.
• Always reward and work with positive consequences – If you take something away make a plan to earn it back.
![Page 35: A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO ADHD/ODD BEHAVIORS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022217/621405a5aae93701cf60e182/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The ADHD/ODD Child MST interventions for the parent: To Do’s
• Maintain consistent reinforcement of rules and behavior to provide the child with structure .
• Maintain consistent routines with regular meals and family activities.
• Giving your child a chore without demands, to instill a sense of accomplishment and responsibility.
• Work with your spouse or partner to ensure cohesive parenting strategies.
• Always give your child unconditional love and acceptance no matter what the circumstances.

What parents need to remember with ADHD/ODD children
Kids do well if they can
It's a lack in skills that creates the negative behaviors
Think what you are asking them to do.
Set your child up for success - kids want to do well.
Do not assume kids know what is expected of them
Greene, R.W. (2010)
![Page 37: A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO ADHD/ODD BEHAVIORS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022217/621405a5aae93701cf60e182/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The ADHD/ODD Child Collaborative Problem Solving intervention
CPS Model (Most effective)
• Step 1 - Empathy - gather information about
the child and the problem.
• Ask what's going on? Tell me why are you angry? This problem really bothers you, why? Tell me more about the that sad face...
Greene, R.W. (2010a)
![Page 38: A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO ADHD/ODD BEHAVIORS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022217/621405a5aae93701cf60e182/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step 2 - Define the problem - Understand how the child is feeling about the problem.
• This is where the adult shares their concern about the same unsolved problem. Sharing with the youth how the unsolved problem may affect others.
The ADHD/ODD Child Collaborative Problem Solving intervention
Greene, R.W. (2010a)
![Page 39: A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO ADHD/ODD BEHAVIORS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022217/621405a5aae93701cf60e182/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Step 3 - Invitation step. - brainstorm with the child how to get the problem solved. Make it a win-win situation. The important part is building the relationship, and not so much the end task.
• This gives the child reasonable life choices and offers them a sense of control and choice of consequences.
The ADHD/ODD Child Collaborative Problem Solving intervention
Greene, R.W. (2010a)

• Authoritarian parenting will not work with ODD children.
• If routine is changed, prepare the child for change, preteach.
• Remember, these kids do not handle surprises well, so take time to preteach so they know what to expect.
• Watch non verbal cues. If signs of frustration begin, stop, distract or change the situation.
