Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
Inattentive, disorganized and impulsive!!
Those are some of the signs of attention deficit disorder.
Living with ADD and its hyper-active counterpart ADHD
can be a challenge.
But with proper diagnosis and treatment some people say it can be a "gift".
Today, we'll talk about how to live and thrive with attention deficit disorder.
But first, diagnosing it.
New Hampshire has one of the highest per capita rates of Ritalin prescriptions - one of the drugs used to treat ADD.
What does that mean?
Producer Phil Vaughn has the story.

Q DR GWARE: Is there a TYPICAL profile of a person with ADD.
Do Chelsea's and Marcus's story familiar?? underlying TRAITS?
Q DR GWARE: Children with ADD often labeled DISRUPTIVE, having BEHAVIORAL ISSUES -- acting out. How key is DIAGNOSIS in getting the right help.
Is there a PRECISE, Diagnostic TEST??
**BETH: Where do you go to get a diagnosis?
Q SUE ELLIS: The Hunter School caters to students with ADD.
You get students once they've been diagnosed.
How does your Education approach DIFFER from a PUBLIC SCHOOL?

Q MARCUS: Is there still a STIGMA associated with ADD.
You have 2 sons that have been diagnosed with ADD.

** It can be a problem -- what advice would give you those looking for answers?
How can you help a child, or a family member living with ADD?
how do you get the most out of living with add
Q SUE ELLIS: The Hunter school tries to change the mindset that ADD is a disorder -- that it can actually be
an ADVANTAGE. Give me an example of HOW that's done.
Q DR GWARE: Not everyone can afford a PRIVATE school.
What can parents do to help their children live BETTER with ADD?
Q SUE/ MARCUS: You know the students you're teaching have ADD -- Public school
teachers may not have that information -- aren't they at a disadvantage in helping these kids??
** How can PUBLIC schools implement Strength based TEACHING ?
Dr GWARE: Your thoughts on that theory?
Any anecdotatal evidence this works?
==========
Q MARCUS MANN: What have you found to be the most effective TREATMENT for your ADD?
Q Chelsea's Mom.talked about trying everything -- nothing working except MEDICATION.
In general is that the most effective treatment?

Cognitive Function.

never diagnosed or treated properly?

Monday, March 28, 2005:
Beth spent some time de-briefing the three in-studio guests before taping. We ended up starting closer to 5:30pm. We had a new AD training. Drew Adams did a great job. It was his first in-studio conversation alone. The show went well. We finished by 6pm.
Director's Log:
Everything went fine. The audio mixer still has that problem with VTR 16 that makes us start over again at least once or fix it at the end. The engineers tell me that has been looked at MANY times and the realized the only way to fix it is to get a new audio mixer board. The guest stayed after show to talk to Beth and that sometimes does cause us to wait to do the promo. But it seemed okay tonight.

Attention Deficit Disorders
Attention Deficit Disorders are on the rise. At least the diagnosis is increasing. And, New Hampshire leads the nation in per capita consumption of Ritalin, one drug used to treat ADD. There are questions, however about how many people are misdiagnosed. Modern life, some doctors say, imitates the symptoms of ADD. We'll explore the importance of a proper diagnosis and how to live with ADD.

Wormald is a native of New Hampshire and has been teaching for 17 years. Chip Neal attended class with "Mr. Worm" as he is affectionately known around the school.
Folksinger in Residence
Folksinger Jeff Warner brings history and culture to life through music. Using humor, age-old instruments, and song -- Warner presents the oral literature of early American life with stories of real people not found in history books.
Kids sing his songs for weeks after he's gone. Warner is an artist for the NH council on the Arts. Beth Carroll taped him during his Artist-in-Residence stint in Hopkinton.

Snowmobile Safety
Also in this program, it was a little more than a year ago when a New Hampshire mom lost her son to a snowmobile accident. Now, she's using that experience to help prevent others from dying on the trails. Hear what Fran Tishkevich is talking about.
