Common issues associated with ADHD:
1. Poor auditory sequential memory: Even with medication, most kids still have difficulty remembering a series of directions. This is an area that requires accommodations with access to written directions at the desk and frequent check ins with teachers.
2. Social cues: A major area that impacts many kids, often first observed in the later elementary school, impacts their ability to understand nonverbal social cues. This impacts acceptance and understanding of more complex relationships.
3. Written expression: Writing our thoughts is one of the more complex neurological tasks, combining verbal reasoning, fine motor skills and recall of one’s thoughts all at the same time.
4. Maintaining focus with the big picture: Focus issues can limit one’s ability to understand the bigger picture whether in a soccer game or problem solving more complex problems.
While there are other significant issues, these have been most impactful. Learning how to manage these and learn the skills required takes a structure environment with trained helping hands. Quest has demonstrated its’ ability to positively impact these issues and teach the skills necessary for success.
In three studies, Quest was found to have a strong treatment effect improving ADHD symptoms.
