Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) has been estimated to occur in 3% to 5% of school age children with over 50% of clinic-referred children diagnosed as ADHD (NIH, 1998). Most of these children are treated with high doses of medication in the form of psychostimulants, including amphetamine, methylphenidate, and pemoline. This literature review describes the complexity of ADHD, its symptoms, treatments, and implications on a child’s social and academic development. This review of the literature provides readers with strategies for assisting children with ADHD to better access curriculum, interact socially, and build strong coping strategies.
