Aim To examine the knowledge of parents who are working as healthcare workers about Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and to determine the predictors of ADHD knowledge in children among parents. Methods A cross-section study was conducted among parents who are working as HCWs. An online survey by google forms facilitated the creation of a 373 participant’s sample. Results The parents who are working as HCWs toward ADHD Knowledge 14.9 (SD = 7.9). The most questions were answered correctly. ADHD children are frequently distracted by extraneous stimuli 285 (76.8%). ADHD children often fidget or squirm in their seats 272 (73.7%) and HCWs training in managing an ADHD child are generally effective when combined with medication treatment 260 (70.5%). Conclusion This study found that many parents who working as HCWs had poor knowledge regarding causes and general aspects of this disorder. The results had many implications that include increased efforts to improve the capabilities of parents who working as HCWs and prevent further complications for the children and increase awareness among parents and teachers.

“…According to Dodur and Kumas, a survey conducted between 2019 and 2020 involving 260 teachers aged 28 to 59 from 3 to 37 years of experience from 25 primary schools came to the same conclusion. According to Abed and Shackelford (2021), the survey conducted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, involved 136 primary public school teachers through an online survey, and the result showed that teachers who had 11 to 20 years of work possessed more knowledge than those with fewer or more years of work. Also, dyslexia is not widely recognized in Saudi Arabia, resulting in no academic training.…”

“…Then, in the rest of the questionnaire, which consists of thirty (30) questions, participants fill in the answers representative for them. The questions concern teachers' knowledge of dyslexia detection (5,8,10,14,21,23,25,28,27,30) [Research question 1], teachers' knowledge of differentiated teaching (1,2,4,7,11,13,16,18,20,29) [Research question 2] and their choice for further training (3,6,9,12,15,17,19,22,24,26)…”

The purpose of this research is to investigate the knowledge and opinions of general education teachers in primary education regarding the effectiveness of differentiated teaching for children with Dyslexia. Initially, the study refers to Learning Difficulties and specifically to Dyslexia, where this disorder and its characteristics are analyzed. After this, the research questions follow with further analysis of Dyslexia, differentiated teaching and bibliographic review of previous surveys related to the topic. Afterwards, the design of the research, the methodology and the strategies that we used are analyzed. In this particular research a closed type of questionnaire sampling will be conducted through Likert scale, and it will be posted to groups of primary education teachers on the internet. After information on validity, reliability, and ethical issue the research findings will be analyzed and compared with the already mentioned studies of the literature review according to which the teachers of the previous surveys have quite a lot in common with the present research as regards their views, their knowledge, the implementation of differentiated teaching which are at a good level and their further training. A key element is the fact that a high percentage of teachers consent to further training either at the workplace or at university. Finally, the study closes with the conclusions.

“…It will continue to grow if the early detection and management of dyslexia are not given full attention by people from different fronts who are both directly and indirectly involved in it. In Saudi Arabia itself, the percentage of incidence has already reached 7% and, as such, efforts are being made to detect the disorder early, so that management and preemptive measures are in place and on time [ 2 ]. Dyslexia is a disorder of a neurological origin that affects the learning of those who suffer from it.…”

There are a large number of neurological disorders being explored regarding possible management and treatment, with dyslexia being one of the disorders that affect children at the onset of their learning process. Dyslexia is a developmental neurological disorder that prevents children from learning. The disorder has a prevalence of around 10% across the globe, as reported by most of the literature on dyslexia. The early detection and management of dyslexia is one of the primary pursuits among different research. One such domain that leads this pursuit of the early detection and management of dyslexia is artificial intelligence. With so much effort being expended to explore the applicability of artificial intelligence to address the problem of dyslexia detection, in this work, an ensemble model for the early detection of dyslexia is proposed and recommend. The work experimentally considers a pool of ensembles with rigorous validation on a large sized dataset. The final ensemble model recommendation for detection is expressed after evaluating all of the ensemble frameworks based on a number of evaluation parameters. Our experiments reveal that the subspace discriminant ensemble showed superiority for the detection of dyslexia with an accuracy of 90% on five-fold cross validation with the least training time. An accuracy of 90.90% was achieved using boosted trees with a holdout validation of 30%, while with no validation the subspace K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) outperformed the other ensembles with an accuracy of 99.9%.
