Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often have trouble maintaining attention, staying on task, completing multistep directions, completing and turning in homework assignments, organizing their rooms or backpacks, and remembering what they are supposed to be doing at a given moment. In addition, they display impulsive actions, often doing or saying things that they later regret. Children who have problems with sensory inhibition, discrimination, or habituation, sensory-­processing problems discussed in chapter 2, may present with some of these same issues. These children often have difficulty with many other day-to-day actions:

finding items in a desk, bag, or pocket

locating items in a cupboard, drawer, or closet or on a grocery shelf

recognizing, interpreting, or following traffic signs

concentrating when there is background noise

speaking at a reasonable volume

judging how hard to push on objects, often breaking things

telling time on an analog clock

organizing things by categories

lining up numbers correctly

remembering what people are saying

interrupting when another person is talking

saying things without thinking first

behaving impulsively
