Perspective of: Russia

 * Frame Element || Information gathered: ||
 * < Characters || Children with ADHD ||
 * < Setting ||< Russia ||
 * < Initiating Event ||< Children that are struggling in the classroom, and at home. ||
 * < Internal Response ||< ADHD is not well accepted in Russia. Many view the problem as contrived and the behavioral difficulties stem from bad upbringing or the child being spoiled. ADHD medication remains an illegal narcotic with the same classification as cocaine and heroin. Many psychologists believe a rethinking in reform is long overdue. The medical professions are unfamiliar with the drugs benefits for ADHD. There is also a lack in education for parents and teachers. Teachers aren't trained and are completely unprepared for the challenges of teaching students with ADHA. ||
 * < Goal ||<  ||
 * < Consequence ||< Kids are continuing to struggle in the classroom and at home. There is no help for the children and the families in dealing with the challenges. ||
 * < Resolution ||< Many psychologists and families are pushing for medical reforms and trying to raise awareness about these issues. There needs to be a major shift in the Russian psyche if ADHA is to be seriously tackled. There is a big need for national research in order to form an updated consensus on ADHD’s origins and effective treatment. ||
