Abstract

This paper discusses attentive and inattentive behaviors with special reference to the current increase in referrals of attention problems amongst gifted children. It challenges the belief that ADD with or without Hyperactivity is an irreversible condition presenting a neuro-developmental approach that treats the root cause of the problematic behavior through movement and other therapeutic exercises rather than relying on traditional methods such as drugs or behavioral modifications. Implementation approach with two gifted children, one diagnosed with ADD and one whose attenlional problems are not diagnosed, are given form of two case studies.
