What is ADHD?
ADHD means Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is the most common neurobehavioral disorder of childhood and can profoundly affect the academic achievement, well-being, and social interactions of children. Oftentimes, a child with ADHD wants to do good in school but finds it hard to pay attention or control impulsive behavior. The child is often described as someone “who does not listen to the teacher” or “talks a lot in school” or “causes trouble in class”.
