That just boggles the mind. You're right though, we are a society that's bent on overmedicating ourselves. Interesting point about comparing the results with 'normal' students as well. I wonder how many of them would work better with headphones on and some form of stimulation, be it music or some sort of 'sound waves'. It would probably help block out distractions for anybody that tries it. According to the article there’s over 1,000 cases of Ritalin being prescribed to 1 year olds. That just boggles the mind.

While there is no doubt, in my mind, medication is over-prescribed for ADD and AD/HD, I believe medication is over-prescribed across the board. The problem is not confined to this one area. I agree, that medicating a children under 3 years of age is a concern, I would be curious as to how often this truly occurs. I realize that any unnecessary medication is bad, just wondering if it's actually an on-going problem. I see my children 'off' their medication and I see the learning process halt, not only for that child but for those around him that are dealing with his behaviors, as well. I'm not sure, either, about the headphones. Be an interesting experiment with both ADD and so-called normal students. I do enjoy your Blog's and Podcast's. Keep 'em crankin'!

However, the question is can they actually speed up the parts of hte brain that are typically slowed down in a person with ADD. As to teachers having to deal with children who have ADD... While I agree that it may be difficult to deal with hyperactive children or children with low attention spans, my biggest concern is medicating students who don't need it. What I don't get is how a student is supposed to take notes with headphones on! I can definitely see how headphones might help block out distraction.

I think this sound waves are voodoo. If my students did not have medication- the teachers would all resign. Might work for mild cases, but it is worth a few busted chromosomes to keep from the teachers having to under go therapy too. I try to teach in an alternative school.

For me, it does wonders for blocking out other distractions.
