Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is often characterized with symptoms from the following 3 categories of attention disorders:

• Hyperactivity
• Inattention
• Impulsivity

Children suffering from ADHD often lack certain executive function skills, and therefore might have difficulty succeeding in learning.

• Divided or distracted attention
• Difficulty in task completion
• Communicative misunderstanding
• Disruptive in class

HKEPS Interventions:

Being involved is necessary as a parent; when your child suffers from ADHD parental involvement is even more crucial and being supportive is the first step.

Connecting with the school setting & supporters may benefit your child by enhancing his learning experience and social interaction.
