Every morning my daughter gets up and takes her medication for her ADD. The medication helps her tremendously. She can see the difference herself in the way she pays attention in school when she is not on the medication. She knows that in order to understand and stay focused she needs to take the medication. There is a huge difference in her grades when she is on her medication. Rachel is an A & B student. Without the medication she is a C & D student.
ADD medication is so controversy. There are parents and educators who believe in the medication. Yet at the same time there are parents and educators who do not believe in medicating. If I could conduct a study, my study would be to work with students who have been diagnosed with ADD. My research study would work with children that had been diagnosed with ADD before they started taking medication. All children in the study would be taught methods to help them learn to stay focused in class. The positive contribution would be that children would be successful in learning without taking medication. Children will feel empowered to complete assignments without losing focus. Parents will feel better because their children were not on medication.
