A marked increase in the number of college students on medications for depression, attention deficit disorder, and other conditions may have intimidated us into believing that we all need to be medical experts. The author argues that what educators need to do is accept our limitations and recognize that our traditional strengths may be just what the doctor ordered.

The City

The objective of the study was to test the influence of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its associated problems. The focus of the study was college students in the city of Mexico. The methodology was quantitative and survey based. Data is collected from two selected college students and sample size was 327. Correlation results shows that there is positive and significant relationship between ADHD and psychological problems. Accordingly, attention deficit is positively associated with internet addiction (r=.33, P<.05); depression (r=.29, P<.05); anxiety (r=.26, P<.05); stress (r=.41, P<.05); and social phobia (r=.27, P<.05). The other variable is hyperactivity/impulsivity which is also positively associated with internet addiction (r=.34, P<.05); depression (r=.29, P<.05); anxiety (r=.29, P<.05); stress (r=.27, P<.05); and social phobia (r=.26, P<.05). The canonical correlation results shows that attention deficit disorder is associated with dependent variables including internet addiction (Fstat=6.09, P<.05); depression (Fstat=4.78, P<.05); anxiety (Fstat=2.89, P<.05); stress (Fstat=7.92, P<.05); and social phobia (Fstat=4.94, P<.05). Similarly, hyperactivity/impulsivity is positively associated with internet addiction (Fstat=8.27, P<.05); depression (Fstat=5.30, P<.05); anxiety (Fstat=6.69, P<.05); stress (Fstat=20.61, P<.05); and social phobia (Fstat=3.51, P<.05). Overall, our results implies that ADHD is positively leading to other psychological problems among the college students and hence need suitable intervention

Know How

Teachers commonly work with students with dyslexia. They may not have been aware that the reason a student struggled with many academic tasks, was due to challenges with mental processing associated with the dyslexia. Dyslexia tends to be difficult to recognize. However, the commonly associated behaviors such as acting out, withdrawing, or simply trying and failing are readily noticeable. Because of the hidden nature of dyslexia, many teachers may attribute students’ lack of academic success to other easily explainable issues, such as attention deficit disorder or issues with family function. Students’ academic and potentially life-long success, could be influenced by the lack of teacher awareness or ability to recognize the executive functioning issues of students with dyslexia. Thus, there is a need for teachers at all levels to understand what dyslexia is, hold accurate conceptions of dyslexia, and know how to effectively support the learning of students with dyslexia. Given the critical role teachers play in working with students with dyslexia and the potential teachers have to support or hinder students long term success, there is warrant for examining the perceptions, attitudes, misconceptions, and practice of teachers working with students with dyslexia.
