Abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) impacts on the social, emotional and academic progress of children, resulting in significant distress and worry on them those to whom they are linked, either directly or indirectly, such as parents, teachers and peers. ADHD is a psychological condition seen frequently in children (Rowland, Lessene and Abramowitz, 2002). Principal ADHD symptoms comprise inappropriate degrees of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity (World Health Organization, 1992). However, children with ADHD require special education, and this paper believes that such children will succeed and achieve more success in schools if appropriate and regular assistance is provided.
Key words: ADHD, diagnosis, symptoms, Co-morbidity, assessment of ADHD, intervention, treatment.
