Children with AD/HD are distinguished by patterns showing inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Most of these symptoms appear in a child’s early life, but can show up in late childhood. It is important if you suspect your child has this disability to have him/her thoroughly test and diagnosis by a professional specializing in this field.

Symptoms for this characteristics my take months even in some cases years to note learning disability in a child. It is important to watch your child’s behavior for early detection. Some situations may alert a child’s problem quicker than others

It is not uncommon for a child with symptoms of impulsiveness and hyperactivity to be notice quicker than child with inattention. This is because different symptoms will be noted in different environments. A child in school, who is restless and disrupts class, will be noticed quickly. But a child who is inattentive, a daydreamer, sitting quietly in back of room may be missed for as much as a year or more.

I would like to note at this time, all children are sometimes restless, sometimes act without thinking, and sometimes daydream time away. They are children, and they are learning and growing

It is when these symptoms of hyperactivity, distractibility, and poor concentration began to affect performance of a child’s work in school or even his behavior at home that one should suspect AD/HD. It is varying symptoms of AD/HD, which makes learning disability so difficult to diagnose. This is especially true for children whose symptom of inattentiveness is major problem. As mentioned above there are three types or patterns of AD/HD inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity: Inattention: Children who are inattentive have a hard time keeping their minds on any one thing and may get bored with a task after only a few minutes. If they are doing something they really enjoy, they have no trouble paying attention. But focusing deliberate, conscious attention to organizing and completing a task or learning something new is difficult. Homework is particularly hard for these children. They will forget to write down an assignment, or leave it at school. They will forget to bring a book home, or bring wrong one. The homework, if finally finished, is full of errors and erasures. Homework is often accompanied by frustration for both parent and child.
