Not Paying Attention
If hyperactive forms of behavior are not disrupting Johnny, I may notice other interferences to his work production including daydreaming, visual distractibility, staring into space, socializing with neighbors, playing with work materials, or engaging in other work related activities other than the assigned task.

| If hyperactive forms of behavior are not disrupting Johnny, I may notice other interferences to his work production including daydreaming, visual distractibility, staring into space, socializing with neighbors, playing with work materials, or engaging in other work related activities other than the assigned task. Although the majority of these behaviors are often described as "un-focused" behavior, only a few are generally judged to be related to the attention deficits observed in ADHD. If Johnny is "zoning out" and daydreaming, there is a greater possibility of an attention deficit interference. Daydreaming could also be observed as falling into an ADHD consideration. |
Daydreaming is a big factor with children with ADD/ADHD. My son daydreams constantly, that's why as the article states, these kids need special teaching techniques that will help them focus. In the case of Felipe, is visual aids and the computer. He has tons of books but when is time to read, he relays on books we find online that make sounds or they are animated. He tends to assimilate and remember more these type of books than the ones we have on the shelves. Kids with ADD/ADHD can excel in academics if their teachers use the right teaching techniques.
