I. Introduction
At school, behavioral issues disrupt classes and annoy other students. These worries
frequently overwhelm teachers, especially newcomers, and some regard them as the
most difficult aspect of their job. Children with behavioral issues require extra attention,
putting a strain on teachers and slowing the delivery and completion of instruction. This
issue is also visible in the behavioral checklist when I interview one of the teachers in
Learning disabled children may be disruptive in the classroom. These conditions are
known as attention deficit disorder (ADD), autism, or dyslexia. Most students with
learning disabilities require a personalized education plan that is tailored to their specific
needs. Medication is given to many students with learning disabilities to help them
focus. On rare occasions, students forget their medication and act out in class.
Sometimes it is difficult for even the most knowledgeable professional to identify ADHD
from normal child behavior (Cohen, 2003). For instance, ADHD children can usually
concentrate on activities they enjoy. However, when tasks are either boring or repetitive,
they have trouble maintaining focus. Cohen observed that some students with ADHD
are hyperactive while other ADHD students are not overly active; instead, they are
inattentive, appearing to their teachers and other professionals as being spacey and
unmotivated. Each year in every classroom across the United States millions of report
cards are sent to parents. In the space allotted for teachers' comments many of them
read that the student is inattentive and unmotivated. In reality however, not every child
with those descriptions has ADHD, making it difficult for teachers and sometimes even
parents to identify which children have the disorder and which children may be a bit
slower than their peers in cognitive development (Centers for Disease Control, 2012).
