Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) as a Learning Disability

Abstract: A 6 page paper discussing the cognitive aspects of ADD with little emphasis on the behavioral issues connected with the disorder. While there have been documented cases of abuse of the use of the ADD label on children who were only victims of poor teaching, also documented are cases of children whose disabilities prevented them from learning as much as they could have had their problems been diagnosed and treated early enough. The manner in which children with ADD learn is very different from standard ways, but that difference does not preclude ability. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
