    ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of
    childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts
    into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying
    attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without
    thinking about what the result will be), or be overly active

    Causes
    Pre Natal

    age

    Brain injury
    A recent study published in the Journal of Head
    Trauma Rehabilitation found that many children
    who were not diagnosed with ADHD before their
    brain injury showed symptoms of secondary ADHD
    a form of the disorder that develops after trauma. Research does not support the popularly held views that
    ADHD is caused by eating too much sugar, watching too
    Genes and heredity. much television, parenting, or social and environmental
    factors such as poverty or family chaos. Of course, many
    Inheritance plays a things, including these, might make symptoms worse,
    especially in certain people. But the evidence is not strong
    significant role in ADHD enough to conclude that they are the main causes of
    ADHD.
    Social Skills Training:
    Target specific social skills
    Therapeutic deficits common in both ASD
    and ADHD, such as turn-taking,
    Recommendations sharing, and appropriate play
    interactions

    Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA):


    ABA is a widely used therapy for Occupational Therapy (OT):
    children with autism. It focuses Occupational therapists can work
    on reinforcing positive on fine and gross motor skills,
    behaviors and teaching new sensory regulation, and self-care
    skills while reducing skills, which can benefit children
    challenging behaviors with both ASD and ADHD.
    Conclusions
    Psychoeducate parents, provide them
    with training on how to implement
    strategies at home, manage behaviors,
    and support the child's development.
