If you still have questions, contact your nearest eye doctor experienced in treating children with ADHD or any attention difficulties.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q1: What is ADHD?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common behavioral disorders that affects children.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Approximately 5% of children have ADHD, worldwide.<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Around four million American children\u2014 up to 11% of school age children have ADHD.<\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>ADHD affects males more than females, with a 3 to 1 ratio.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Children with ADHD are 3x more likely to be diagnosed with a visual skills problem called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-adhd\/scientific-studies-connect-convergence-insufficiency-and-adhd\/\">Convergence Insufficiency<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ADHD is usually suspected and diagnosed during the early school years when problems within the classroom, such as concentration and attention begin to appear.<\/p>\n<p>ADHD affects both children and adults, but the symptoms always begin in childhood\u2014 generally interfering with academic performance and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-adhd\/does-adhd-cause-social-problems\/\">social success<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q2: Does my child have ADHD?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: The primary behaviors associated with ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While most children do exhibit these types of behaviors from time to time, <b>with ADHD, these behaviors are the rule, not the exception.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Inattention<\/b>: Difficulties concentrating on a task, knowing where to start, or getting lost along the way, easily distracted, disorganized, and forgetful.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hyperactivity: <\/b>The most visible sign of ADHD\u2014 in which the child appears to always be fidgety or \u201con the go\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Impulsivity: <\/b>Acting without thinking\u2014 such as speaking out of turn, interrupting others, and engaging in risky behavior.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q3: What causes ADHD?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, the cause of ADHD is still unknown. However, studies suggest that in many cases, ADHD occurs from a chemical imbalance or deficiency in certain neurotransmitters that help the brain regulate behavior.<\/p>\n<p><i>ADHD tends to be genetic, so if one of the parents has it, there is a 50 percent chance that their child will have it.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Children are at a higher risk of ADHD if they were <b>born prematurely, had a low birth weight, or the mother had a difficult pregnancy.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Studies show that <b>pregnant women who smoke or drink alcohol<\/b>, or were exposed for lead, PCBs, or pesticides, may have a higher risk of having a child with ADHD.<\/p>\n<p>The brain chemical<b> dopamine <\/b>may also cause ADHD symptoms. Dopamine is responsible for carrying signals between nerves in the brain, and is linked to movement, sleep, mood, attention, and learning.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q4: How is ADHD related to vision?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Difficulty focusing in school, fidgeting in their seat, and making careless mistakes can be signs of ADHD, but may also be signs of a <i>functional vision problem.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Moreover, visual problems can make reading a challenge, which may lead to avoidance behaviors and even behavioral problems in school.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-children\/convergence-insufficiency-2\/\">Convergence insufficiency<\/a> (CI) is the most common vision condition that affects reading performance, and is known to mimic the symptoms of ADHD.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><strong>Contact a vision therapy eye doctor<\/strong><\/a> near you if your child is showing signs of ADHD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-for-adhd\/adhd-and-vision-recent-research\/\">ADHD and Vision: Recent Research<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"practice-search-widget\">\n\t\t<h3>Find a Vision Therapy Eye Doctor Near You<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t<form class=\"practice-search-form practice-search-form-widget\" action=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/results\/\" method=\"get\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"page\" class=\"practice-search-page\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_latitude\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_longitude\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"address\" class=\"practice-search-address\" placeholder=\"City, Surburb or Address\" value=\"\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<button type=\"submit\" class=\"practice-search-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"19\" height=\"19\" viewBox=\"0 0 19 19\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.6796 0.130005C9.15708 0.130059 7.66615 0.5646 6.38198 1.38258C5.09781 2.20057 4.07373 3.36803 3.43004 4.74783C2.78634 6.12763 2.54976 7.66246 2.74808 9.17205C2.9464 10.6816 3.57139 12.1033 4.54964 13.27L0.729639 17.08C0.6364 17.1732 0.562439 17.2839 0.511979 17.4058C0.461519 17.5276 0.435547 17.6581 0.435547 17.79C0.435547 17.9219 0.461519 18.0524 0.511979 18.1743C0.562439 18.2961 0.6364 18.4068 0.729639 18.5C0.917942 18.6883 1.17334 18.7941 1.43964 18.7941C1.5715 18.7941 1.70207 18.7681 1.82389 18.7177C1.94571 18.6672 2.0564 18.5932 2.14964 18.5L5.99964 14.62C7.35406 15.6038 8.98566 16.1324 10.6596 16.13C12.7814 16.13 14.8162 15.2871 16.3165 13.7869C17.8168 12.2866 18.6596 10.2517 18.6596 8.13C18.6596 6.00827 17.8168 3.97344 16.3165 2.47315C14.8162 0.97286 12.7814 0.130005 10.6596 0.130005H10.6796ZM10.6796 14.13C9.49295 14.13 8.33291 13.7781 7.34622 13.1188C6.35952 12.4595 5.59049 11.5225 5.13636 10.4261C4.68224 9.32975 4.56342 8.12335 4.79493 6.95946C5.02644 5.79558 5.59788 4.72648 6.437 3.88736C7.27611 3.04825 8.34521 2.4768 9.5091 2.24529C10.673 2.01378 11.8794 2.1326 12.9757 2.58673C14.0721 3.04085 15.0092 3.80989 15.6685 4.79658C16.3277 5.78328 16.6796 6.94332 16.6796 8.13C16.6796 9.7213 16.0475 11.2474 14.9223 12.3726C13.7971 13.4979 12.2709 14.13 10.6796 14.13Z\" fill=\"#fff\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"practice-search-use-my-location\">\n\t\t\tSearch near me\n\t\t<\/button>\n\n\n\t<\/form>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<h2><b>Q5: What is functional vision?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Functional vision is how your entire visual system\u2014 your eyes, brain, and visual pathways, work together to accurately interpret visual information, and help you to interact with your environment.<\/p>\n<p>Your functional vision includes all of the essential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/the-17-key-visual-skills\/\">visual skills.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>ADHD typically affects the following visual skills:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye teaming<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focusing<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hand-eye coordination<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visual perception<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visual tracking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Q6: What is convergence insufficiency?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: The eyes converge, or work as a team to come together, as they focus on an image, to enable clear vision. Convergence insufficiency means that the eyes do not work well as a team, resulting in blurry vision, and other visual distortions. When a child has CI, the eyes need to work harder to accurately process visual information for clear vision of the object.<\/p>\n<p><b>Convergence insufficiency can directly impact your child\u2019s success in reading, learning, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-children\/vision-skills-for-sports\/\">sports performance<\/a>, and more.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A child can have CI, even with perfect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-children\/the-myth-of-20-20\/\">20\/20 eyesight<\/a>. Therefore, if your child is showing signs of ADHD, it is important to have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/pediatric-eye-exams-2\/\">eye exam<\/a> to first rule out a vision problem, such as CI, before treating the ADHD.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q7: How do I know if my child has convergence insufficiency or reduced visual skills?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Studies show that children with vision problems are <i>twice <\/i>as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD when compared to their peers.<\/p>\n<p><i>If your child is showing any of the following behaviors or symptoms, schedule a functional vision evaluation as soon as possible\u2014 your child may have a problem with their visual skills.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Difficulty paying attention in class <\/b>may lead to frustration, tiredness, or an inability to sit still.<\/li>\n<li><b>Reading below grade level <\/b>or avoiding the task altogether.<\/li>\n<li><b>Loss of concentration<\/b> may result in \u2018daydreaming\u2019 or distracting their classmates.<\/li>\n<li><b>Rushing through school work <\/b>and making careless mistakes.<\/li>\n<li><b>Difficulties playing sports<\/b> and following a ball as it flies through the air, or assessing the physical distance between players.<\/li>\n<li><b>Excessive squinting<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Frequent eye rubbing\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Disinterest in reading<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<h2><b>Q8: How is ADHD diagnosed?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Diagnosing <b>ADHD <\/b>usually requires a thorough assessment conducted by a developmental pediatrician, child psychologist, child psychiatrist, or pediatric neurologist.<\/p>\n<p><b>A diagnosis of ADHD is made using multiple sources that can attest to certain behavioral symptoms, in multiple settings<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>A proper ADHD diagnostic evaluation includes the following elements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A thorough medical and family history<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A physical examination<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interviews with the parents, the child, and the child&#8217;s teacher(s)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behavior rating scales completed by parents and teacher(s)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Observation of the child<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A variety of psychological tests to measure I.Q., social and emotional adjustment, and detect any learning disabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>Q9: How do I know if my child was misdiagnosed with ADHD?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Schedule a functional vision assessment to determine whether your child is truly presenting with signs of ADHD, or suffering from reduced visual skills. A proper diagnosis can facilitate your child\u2019s academic and personal success.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-adhd\/can-vision-problems-can-be-misdiagnosed-as-adhd\/\">An incorrect diagnosis of ADHD<\/a> can result in serious consequences, including prescriptions of strong medications that could permanently alter the dopamine levels in the brain.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>While these medications increase focusing ability and concentration levels, they may cause uncomfortable side effects such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep disruptions<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss or increase of appetite<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mood swings<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-adhd\/visual-side-effects-of-adhd-medication\/\">Vision problems<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-adhd\/does-adhd-cause-social-problems\/\">ADHD can also affect the child socially<\/a>\u2014 resulting in stigmas and negative behaviors from peers, and possibly leading to reduced self-esteem and confidence levels.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q10: Why is ADHD associated with social challenges?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Many children with ADHD have difficulties making friends and suffer from social and communication difficulties. This is typically because they are unable to intuitively recognize the rules of social interactions, such as when joining a group of peers, responding to a greeting, or listening to a joke.\u00a0 As a result, a child with ADHD may exhibit inappropriate behavior in certain social situations.<\/p>\n<p><i>Common social challenges associated ADHD:<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missing social cues<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misinterpreting body language and tone of voice<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talking too much, or at the wrong time<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responding inappropriately in social situations<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misinterpreting jokes<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty participating in group interactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>LEARN MORE:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-for-adhd\/\"> Guide to Vision Therapy for ADHD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you think your child may be showing signs of ADHD, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\">schedule an appointment<\/a> with your eye doctor to discuss all of your concerns and rule out a vision problem such as convergence insufficiency<i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>A proper diagnosis of a vision problem and\/or ADHD, is crucial for the most appropriate and effective treatment plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are the ten most frequent questions asked to vision therapy eye doctors on ADHD.
