Part A

Based on the unit resources, do you believe that ADHD is merely a behavioral disorder, or do you believe there is an underlying neurological component?  Do you believe medication should be prescribed for children with ADHD?  If you were charged with developing an intervention (treatment/behavioral) plan for a child with ADHD, what components would you include in your plan? Support your positions with cited resources.

Part B

Bipolar disorder is becoming increasingly diagnosed in children.  What is bipolar disorder in children? How does it differ behaviorally and neurologically from bipolar disorder in adults? If you were charged with developing an intervention (treatment/behavioral) plan for a child with Bipolar disorder, what components would you include in your plan?  Incorporate the research findings from the readings and your own research to support your position.
