Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children – Role of Behaviour Therapy and Parent Training Program
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioural disorder of childhood. It is a major public health problem. Children with ADHD have significant impairment in sustaining attention and this in turn will have negative impact on the academic performance and social-emotional development of the child. Most of the children present to child guidance clinic between the ages of 5-10 years. But ADHD can be problematic in pre-school age group and can continue into the adolescence. ADHD in childhood is a developmental precursor of later antisocial disorder [2]. Hence early behavioural interventions are necessary in the management of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Parent training programmes are interventions aimed at training parents in techniques which enable them to manage children's challenging behaviour.
