I have been tasked with a unique job, which has proven to be very enjoyable and very rewarding. While doing my ‘baby’ thesis in Behavioral Psychology last academic year, I was amused – I think the better term is ‘charmed’ by my subject – a little boy who has ADHD, or known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This condition is defined as a disorder beginning in childhood, manifested in the persistent inability to sit still, focus attention on specific tasks, and control impulses. Bobby (let’s call him Bobby), is a really charming boy who cannot keep still, and just watching him is a daunting task in itself. Really, you can get tired and weary just watching all his activities in a certain period of time. He was diagnosed at the age of 7, and according to his mother prior to the diagnosis there seems to be nothing wrong with Bobby, since hyperactivity is actually something seemingly normal in most kids. Nonetheless I was given the privilege to watch and observe Bobby and work with him and I find him such an endearing kid. That started my keen interest in matters related to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). My passion for it probably showed in my paper, which I really enjoyed doing, and for which I got an A, and a recommendation for the job I am starting now.
I am now working with kids diagnosed with ADHD. One of the activities they truly enjoy are those which involve a lot of physical activities, since that gives them satisfaction to move around a lot. I noticed the center I work for just recently acquired a needak rebounder that can be used for the kids’ activities. They are fun to watch and they are really adorable. Next on the list of acquisition is a needak softbounce rebounder, or a needak mini trampoline. This is because the administrators have noticed that the kids really love those trampolines.
