Fifteen-year follow-up of behavioral history of attention deficit disorder

Abstract

The data from elementary and secondary schools including 369 children for 15 years about the behaviors of such age group that were not given attention leads to the deficit disorder was used. The children whose data were collected lies in the second, fourth and fifth grades and their educational performance was evaluated after ninth and sometimes even after twelfth grades. The results show the deficit disorder in the children. There are various reason for such differences in the deficit disorder and majority of them are because of poor performance systems that exist in the primary education system. The data was collected though a questionnaire which was provided directly to students having deficit disorder problem. The main focus throughout the study remained on the Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in children with a background of less attention towards them resulting in mental disorders as they grow up. These disorders can cause social and behavioral illness in children which was determined by giving them significant time and analysis was determined even after 3 years of graduation.
