The St. Anthony School and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

What is ADHD, and how does it affect students?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a child’s attention span, impulse control, or causes him to be overly active. The three types of ADHD are Inattentive Type, Hyperactive-Impulsive Type, and Combination Type. A student with ADHD may be experiencing difficulty at school because he or she has trouble staying focused during lectures or instructions, does not pay close attention to detail, has trouble with executive functioning skills, or fidgets or moves excessively.
