In recent decades youth have presented a higher frequency of A.D.H.D. diagnosis. Techology advancements have also allowed youth to be more interactive with technology. Being that computer/technology computes information at a much faster rate it is possi

Abstract

This research presents results from many interrelated studies . The first part and the second part contains analysis of the published literature since 1990 to determine the magnitude of achievement problems associated with attention-deficit /hyperactivity dis (ADD /ADHD .The third relates these problems with newer studies with a modern perspective which originates from viewing attention-deficit /hyperactivity dis (ADD /ADHD ) in the present age of high technology . This research aims to present the conflicting sides about whether or not technological advancement , especially in the development of literacy and the giving of

educations , can possibly lower the levels of identifiable cases of ADHD amongst adolescents or will technology manage to raise the levels of identifiable cases of ADHD /ADD Analysis Poor academic performance is among the most prominent features associated with attention deficit /hyperactivity dis (ADHD .Findings reported in a substantial literature have indicated that individuals with ADHD are at risk for a range of academic complications , including a higher incidence of failing grades , elevated rates of grade retention (Sandson , et .al :2000 ,an increased occurrence of learning disabilities (LD , and lower scores on standardized tests of achievement (Barkley :1998 ) The association with academic problems appears to be specific to ADHD-related behaviors and is not necessarily explained by morbid conduct diss (DuPaul et al : 2004 . Attention Deficit Dis (ADD ) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis (ADHD ) are neurological conditions ( August , G . J ,et al :1996 Attention Deficit Dis (ADD ) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis (ADHD ) individuals is increasing at a dangerous ratio (Faraone Monoteaux :2006 ) Studies show that it is because it is not so much as `rising ' but is growing in its detection . It is gaining more visibility with better tools and methods to delineate it existence A great number of physicians are supporting this assumption by indicating that the existing metric data which present the number of ADHD 's identified incidents is definitely at a ration of raised levels

Since the latter part of the twentieth century , doctors and professionals have been participating in research and development projects with the objectives of these R D projects inclined towards the good of finding alternatives treatments for this dis . Parents , as well as medical professionals , reluctantly participate in the simplification of the prescribed treatments for the dis . These prescribed treatments , such as treating the affliction with drugs and other stimulant medications , do not cure the dis . These parents and doctors have been looking for effective alternatives , including researching possible natural remedies , where some herbal remedies are showing a lot of promise without the harmful and often undesirable side effects . It is clear that alternative treatments for ADD and ADHD need to be researched and developed (Glutting , et al : 2005

There are five problems in making generalizations about the achievement level of people with ADHD . First , although a substantial research base has been established in the past 40years , there has been no systematic attempt to integrate results quantitatively across studies that examined both ADHD and achievement . Second , not all individuals with ADHD experience...
