Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Continuing Focus for Educators
Lauzé, Erin Rebecca
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v12 n1 p9-13 2020
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects executive function and attention. Many children display ADHD-like symptoms. However, diagnosis requires at least six symptoms that interfere significantly with a child's life for a period of time. School and home can be greatly influenced by executive function deficits that characterize the disorder. A variety of interventions are needed at home and at school to support children with ADHD. Without appropriate interventions, they may have more difficulty coping with the long-term challenges in their lives.
