Symptoms of autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder often co-occur, challenging timely, and accurate diagnosis. We assessed the performance of three parent-report measures in discriminating autism spectrum disorder from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder without autism spectrum disorder (ADHD[subscritpt w/oASD])…

Bullying and victimisation are extremely damaging behaviours that are present in schools all over the world. However, there is little research on the involvement of students with emotional and behavioural disabilities in the bullying dynamic and their risk and protective factors. Following the PRISMA guidelines, the search terms were entered in…

Autism spectrum conditions were once seen as a predominantly male condition. This has caused a paucity of information on common events in the lives of women, such as menstruation and menopause. Some smaller studies indicate that autistic women might suffer from increased difficulties surrounding these events. This study aims to investigate whether…

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experts and individuals with ADHD have made many recommendations concerning mobile apps that could potentially help college students succeed. But do students know about these recommended apps? Do they find them useful? How do students use mobile apps for completing schoolwork? To answer these…

Emerging adulthood, the period of time between adolescence and adulthood, is full of new adjustments. During this time, individuals must acclimate to heightened expectations with diminished support. Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience even greater academic and vocational difficulty during emerging adulthood…

The purpose of this generic quality study was to explore African American parents' experiences of mental health support after their child was diagnosed with ADHD. Mental health support can help parents navigate their environment to better aid their children in coping with their ADHD diagnosis. Due to the dearth of literature relating to African…

Relations between mind-mindedness (assessed using the describe-your-child interview) and stress were investigated in parents of children with developmental disorders (ADHD, n = 51, ASD, n = 23, Down's Syndrome, n = 38, and 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, 22q11.2DS, n = 32) and typically-developing children (n = 89). Mind-mindedness did not differ…

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work with a variety of populations at risk for poor autobiographical and episodic memory. The purpose of this tutorial is to describe autobiographical memory and how it is affected in children with autism spectrum disorder, attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder, hearing loss, and childhood trauma, as…

Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most heritable psychiatric childhood disorders, social and gene-environment interactions seemingly play an important role in the etiology of ADHD. Consistent with this, this study finds that School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) reduced the…

This study investigated the communication skills of children with autism spectrum disorders (H. M. Geurts & M. Embrechts), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Hilde M Geurts & Mariëtte Embrechts), and learning disability (H. M. Geurts & M. Embrechts) using the Children Communication Checklist to identify any commonalities in…

Background: Preschool learners with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may develop problems with emergent literacy and more explicitly, phonological awareness necessary for the development of reading and writing. A need for support of Grade R teachers in inclusive schools was identified, and a programme developed. Aim: The main aim of…

In addition to medical treatment, games, sports or exercises can be used to reduce the symptoms of children diagnosed with ADHD. In this study, the effect of orienteering on the development of attention, metacognitive awareness, and perceptions of problem-solving skills of primary school students diagnosed with ADHD was examined. In the study,…

The effects of (a) private room, (b) typical classroom, and (c) high-distraction room test settings were examined on the math test performance of six college students (four females) with ADHD. Participants (aged 18-30 years) completed multiple, equivalent algebra calculation tests (100 items each) under the three test-setting conditions. A…

ADHD is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders, and the numbers only continue to rise. Ontario has implemented play-based FDK in the last decade, thus it is imperative that the perceived effectiveness of the program for children with ADHD is studied. In conducting this study, the researchers present and interprets educators'…

Diminished response to name, a potential early marker of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), may also indicate risk for other disorders characterized by attention problems, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Using a familial risk design, we examined whether response to name ability at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months of age…
