This fact limits the use of this treatment as there are safety concerns as well. If the child has additional health problems like heart diseases he/she cannot be treated with pharmacological treatment (McCulloch 7)
In their research paper discussed and highlighted the importance and results of consultations and academic interventions (by school) on the performance of children with ADHD. (DuPaul et al
They also considered whether the parents can provide effective home school environment to such children. (Duvall et al
Their research also presented the fact that all the researchers conducted on ADHD conclude that 'not all individuals associated with ADHD experience academic deficits'. (Frazier et al

, 2011) Maria Re and Colleagues conducted a research and explained in their paper that the children suffering from ADHD suffer difficulties in writing and expressing their thoughts and ideas via writing. (Maria Re et al
, 2007) Another research conducted by McConaughy and colleagues highlighted that 'parent and teacher ratings showed significantly lower academic performance and lower social functioning for children with ADHD compared to other referred children without ADHD and controls.' (McConaughy et al
4 million children in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD. (Scheffler et al
Moreover, it was also concluded that ADHD-related ERP differences in children were more prominent at posterior scalp sites but more pronounced at anterior scalp sites in adults, paralleling the prominent topographic changes of both ERP markers with development.' (Valko et al
(2004) to investigate the research problem. This method was initially used by same researcher (Duvall) in 1997
In other words, the purpose was to find out exactly what problems ADHD sufferers encounter when trying to achieve knowledge. In order to ascertain the difficulties -- and to help ADHD students become more academically competent -- that present roadblocks for those individuals, the first study looks at existing literature and uses "…quantitative, meta-analytic procedures" as a research design in order to thoroughly interpret the results in previous work (Frazier)
As mentioned, the most common drug prescribed for the disorder is Ritalin, especially in children older than 6 years. There are, however, several other drugs that are also commonly prescribed, depending upon their efficacy for the individual concerned (Martin, 2011)
Even if a therapy like EEG Biofeedback is the best possible one for a specific child, parents who cannot afford the time or money to use it will have to seek secondary alternatives that could also be helpful to their children.

On the other hand, a review of the research studies from the past 2 decades reveals that inclusion of meditation and religion (in the form of prayer as is the case in transcendental meditation) in the practitioner's workplace happens to be rather questionable. Whilst a few psychologists incorporate religious procedures within their therapeutic and neural enhancement sessions, several specialists do not appreciate the significance of spirituality and meditation as an appropriate remedy in neurology (Gubi
¶ … Meditation Benefit ADHD Meditation is primarily a human effort to take control over the mind's network; it can be designed through using mere breath control or the repetition of a word or mantra to calm the nerves and have the mind be one and at peace with everything around the individual.
