Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects an individual’s ability to focus, control impulses, and engage in organized tasks. It often presents in childhood and can continue into adulthood. People with ADHD may have difficulty concentrating, staying organized, and managing their time effectively. Understanding ADHD can help individuals and educators provide appropriate accommodations and support for those affected.
ADHD affects individuals throughout life, with changing impacts and unique strengths. It presents challenges in focus and impulsivity but can also be associated with creativity.
