We are trying to uncover how do people with ADHD get affected in their daily lives?

Our hypothesis: If a person has ADHD, then it can affect many parts of his/her life, including how well they focus, organize tasks, and manage time. This can change how children study and learn at school, and how adults work and complete responsibilities in daily life.

Our method is to:

- Write hypothesis

- Write introduction/problem

- Research basic info ( what is ADHD\, signs\, types\, and symptoms )

- Research causes\, and ADHD impact on individuals

- Research how ADHD disrupt the brain functioning

- Find out some ways to help students decrease the effects of ADHD

- Write conclusion
