Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a treatable neurobiological condition, which results in problems with with impulsiveness, attention span and in many but not all cases, hyperactivity. It affects between 3 and 5 % of children.
Lots of children have an abundance of energy and find it hard to concentrate but a child with ADHD will display this behaviour constantly. The problem will also be much more extreme and because of this they might find it hard to cope at school. This problem can also continue into adulthood if a child with ADHD doesn’t get the help they need.
While ADHD is not itself a learning disability, children with the condition are more likely to display symptoms of learning disabilities as well, such as dyslexia.
