ADD -
AD/HD ADD,
Attention Deficit Disorder, is the original classification created to
identify difficulties with attention and focus caused by a neurological chemical
imbalance. Later, the classification of AD/HD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder, was created to identify difficulties with attention and
hyperactivity. Today, ADD is considered a subtype of AD/HD, denoted as
AD/HD-Inattentive Type, whereas hyperactivity is denoted as
AD/HD-Hyperactive Type. A combination of these to conditions is denoted as
AD/HD-Mixed. This type of sub-classifications are similar in purpose and
nature to the sub-classifications associated with Dyslexia.
