Objective: We investigated the right Superior Frontal Gyrus (right-SFG) and Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) in children with ADHD and their clinical relevance with Executive Function (EF) and ADHD symptom severity. Methods: About 26 children with ADHD and 24 typically developing children (TDC; 7--16 years) underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging…

This study aims to examine the moderating role of individual (sex, symptom severity, and comorbid disorders) and familial (parental stress and parental depressive symptoms) factors on the improvement of organization, time management, and planning (OTMP) skills of youths with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) following participation…

This article offers recommendations for online graduate students, instructors, and universities to better meet the needs of students with disabilities who increasingly participate in online courses.

Children and adolescents (henceforth "children") with both attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety experience greater difficulties than children with either alone, though qualitative methodologies are yet to be used to understand the challenges this population experiences. We aimed to explore parent-reported daily…

Method: Parents completed ratings on the ADHD symptoms for 189 children with…

Background: Prior studies examining the sleep of adolescents with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have relied on mean values such as average sleep duration, which masks intraindividual variability. The objective was to investigate whether adolescents with ADHD have greater intraindividual variability of sleep/wake…
