Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is defined by the ‘core’ signs of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness which can combine or present individually.

Medical studies have shown that there are important developmental, structural and functional differences between the brains of people with and without ADHD, altering the prefrontal cortex’s ability to function and process essential tasks. This can affect attention, alertness and memory, resulting in the symptoms of ADHD.

ADHD is a professionally diagnosed condition, students may take daily prescribed medication to help them focus on learning during the day.
