Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome
Manage episode 436671110 series 2986189
Daydreaming. Spacing out. Moving slowly, takes a long time to do anything. Always tired, even if they got a good night’s sleep. They can focus, get chores and homework done, it just takes them such a long time. This is a description of a child with Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, CDS (formerly known as Sluggish Cognitive Tempo). People with ADHD Inattentive Type can also have CDS, but not all of them do. And not all folks with CDS have ADHD either.
My guest today is Dr. Joseph Fredrick, a psychologist and head of the CDS Program of the Center for ADHD at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Join us as we explore all aspects of CDS, from diagnosis to treatment. How would a parent, teacher, or clinician identify the child with CDS? What can be done about it? (Hint – a good sleep routine to allow 8 hours of solid sleep is the first step! ). Listen (and watch if you can) to get the answers. Listen and learn!
