Advises Researcher
Use Drugs Only As Last Resort In Treating Hyperactives
uj oeiuy tsaieman
Special To The Post
GREENSBORO-What are
the long-range effects of ex
tended use of amphetamines
■by children who are diagnosed
as hyperactive?
The fact that there are no
definitive _ answers to that
question is a major reason
that child development re
searchers such as Dr Lynne
Koester are concerned over
such widespread drug
therapy
For the hyperactive child
who exmbiis excitable, lmpul
sive. distractible behavior, a
daily dose of stimulants has
become commonplace. It in
creases attention span, con
trols impulsiveness and excit
ability, and even helps child
ren maintain friendships
otherwise shattered by their
overactive behavioral pat
terns.
" But I think that drugs
should be the last solution that
rents or teachers should
lui η to," said Dr. Koester, an
assistant professor of child
development at the University
> of North Carolina at Greens
boro.
In a recent interview, Dr
i«\t»ester, wno has carrieiTbuT
research on and taught child
ren at a variety of grade
levels, offered some general
guidelines for parents and
teachers who work with child
' ren diagnosed as hyperactive:
Be cautious about over
labeling children as hyperact
i ive. Don't treat the term as a
waste basket solution lor
every child who causes a
problem at home or in class.
Try increasingly smaller
dosages of the amphetamines
to wean the children from this
artificial support Help the
children try to internalize
their own controls.
If stimulant drugs are be
ing used, watch out for sud
den, erratic behavior changes
in the child and changes in
hysiological Jactors-poor
appetite, weight loss, insom
nia.
Let school officials know
that you are ready to help with
the child in their efforts to
create a good learning atmos
phere for all the children
Reward the child in a posi
tive manner for exhibiting
• appropriate behavior for even
short periods of time.
Talk over various consist
ent discipline strategies in the
'home with which the child
may be aided in efforts to _
control behavior.
—-Decide if a particular type
of school environment
whether open or more tradi
tional-would be best for the
child.
Be more aware of what
type of records are being kept
on children pertaining to'
hyperactivity or other behav
ioral patterns
Work closely with the
child's physician, letting the
doctor know of any concerns
over the extended use of stim
ulant drugs
Explore other avenues of
aid for hyperactive children
such as environmental chan
ges and discipline procedures
Although it has been shown
that' amphetamines used to
excess by adults can cause
.serious, sometimes almost
psychotic, side effects, few
studies have undertaken
assessments of the cumulative
effects on children. Dr Koest
er noted.
"And 1 don't think there is
any reason to believe that
ihesp drugs are operating any
differently with children than
with adults," she said "They
• have basically the same effect
physiologically with adults as
they do with these children.
Part of the problem. Dr
Koester believes, is the impro
per labeling of some children
as hyperactive when they ex
hibit only one or two of the
characteristics.
"I think parents are as
guilty as teachers of using the
m/ Χ
term hyperactivity ver> loose
ly, " she sa id. ' ' Pa rents need to
be very careful about using
that term or giving anyone
else that idea about their
children
"Those children are labeled
for life," she continued
"These school records follow
them from one year to the
next And it's very difficult for
a child who has gotten into a
classroom with a teacher who
is perhaps more restrictive
and less tolerant of that type
of behavior Then the next
teacher is automatically going
to expect on the basis of that
child's records that he or she
is going to be a problem
"I think that parents have a
right to know And if they feel
that their child has been mis
labeled. then they need to
work with the school counse
lors and teachers and the
principal to try to seek other
alternatives."
In studying how different
children reacted to various
types ol classroom environ
ments-whether open or more
traditional-Dr. Koester dis
covered a number of differen
ces
"These hyperactive child
ren are not intellectually in
ferior by any means," she
said "In fact, often these
children will test as having'
average or above average
IQs
"And so it may be that they
are in classroom situations
that are not challenging or
stimulating enough." slie con·—
tinued In a class where
there's movement and more
choice, more novel experien
ces. they might be able to at
least follow their own patterns
of behavior without being stig
matized
"Such children in a more
traditional kind of classroom
environment very easily get
called on repeatedly byl
their teachers," Dr Koester
