ADHD: A Primer for Parents and Educators
نویسنده
چکیده
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a complex disorder characterized by three core symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Although all children display these behaviors to some degree, children with ADHD have far more significant symptoms than other children their age. Because these symptoms are pervasive, they tend to interfere with the child’s behavior at home, in school, and among peers. Fortunately, with early identification and intervention, most children with ADHD can lead successful lives.
