ADD/ADHD – The Classic Triad
1. Inattention
2. Impulsive
3. Hyperactivity
ADD/ADHD children often manifest so much more than the classic triad. They frequently exhibit:
- poor self control
- over responsiveness
- easily frustrated
- poor self talk
- trouble shifting gears
- poor recall of past
- poor future planning
These behaviours stem from an inability to INHIBIT their desires. They are so caught up in the “now” that the “future” is not considered. There is no “future” or “past” – only the “NOW”
