What is Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder?

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is typically first recognized in childhood. ADHD can present as the inattentive type, the hyperactive type, or mixed inattentive and hyperactive. A few characteristics of ADHD include lack of focus, inattentiveness, difficulty with impulse control, and other distracting behaviors that impact all areas of a person’s life.

A child with ADHD might have difficulty in school or with making friends, and it is important to seek help as early as possible to find the right tools and strategies that will be useful for that child. Adults with ADHD can also learn strategies and skills to help them in the workplace, relationships, and completing daily tasks.
