Week 6 questions DQ1 (must be 100-150 words) Due Wednesday Do some research to identify a trend, event, or a policy related to ADHD. If you look on news websites, you can identify and discuss what reporters are currently writing about ADHD. If you look at the policy statements by institutions such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/facts.html) or American Psychological Association (APA.org), you can identify and discuss which policies or advice they provide. You could also try finding events (either past events or future ones) about ADHD at the local, state, or national level and then explain what one or more events were (or will be) about. Then, summarize your findings and report them to the class by responding to this discussion question. DQ2 (must be 100-150 words) Due Wednesday What are some of the causes or consequences related to the trend you identified earlier this week? (Or, if you posted something about a policy or event, what do you see as the causes or consequences of those?) Who (or what) do you think is responsible for the problem, or who (or what) deserves credit for solving some part of the problem? DQ3(must be 75-100 words) Due Thursday Kids' perspectives on ADHD Since this DQ is about perspective, I thought it might be interesting to see some different perspectives on ADHD from children's viewpoints. The first one is a short film, which is supposed to show a child's view of ADHD http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gut-wrenching-video-shows-adhd-from-a-kidsperspective_us_56cb8c2fe4b0ec6725e3a42c The second link is a post from an older kid about medication and his reaction when people get angry with his parents for giving him medication. http://www.adhdkidsrock.com/anger-over-adhd-medication/ What do you think of these two perspectives? Do you agree or disagree with either one? Do they allow you to see something you didn't before?
