The Power of Teaching Strategy and its Impact on Children with ADHD
Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a type of disorder caused by brain dysfunction that is easy to be found in childhood, and it is common in children, adolescents, and adults. Although there is a lot of research on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), there seems to be a lack of comprehensive research on educational strategies and their effects on this disorder. This literature review attempts to discuss what ADHD is and some risk factors associated with the prevalence of ADHD, the executive function problems associated with ADHD and related interventions, other possible interventions or educational strategies, and ultimately, what kind of collaboration relationship should be achieved between the educator and the parent or family will be discussed.References
