Recently, the Eide Neurolearning Blog featured an interesting item on motivation in individuals with ADHD. "Rather than ADHD appearing as a fixed deficit in executive function, increasing evidence suggests that children (and adults) with ADHD behaviors are showing impulsivity mainly in non-reward situations." Thus, the solution might be to offer greater incentives to complete tasks. Perhaps we (parents and teachers) might have more patience and understanding for the child who would rather dash outside and play than complete his spelling homework.
Then again. . . .
