Summary

Introduction

One of the most rife and intensively studied childhood developmental disorders is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Barkley, 2003) It is characterized by a pertinacious practice of inattention, and/or hyperactivityimpulsivity, to a degree that causes significant deterioration of functional execution at more than one setting (American Psychological Association [APA], 2013). One of the most frequently explored aspects of this disorder is the subject of co-occurring deficits (Adesman, 2003; Gillberg et al, 2004) Determinations of both clinical and community studies have unveiled extremely elevated rates of co-occurrence between ADHD and other neuro-developmental disorders, predominantly related to motor (e.g., Pitcher et al, 2003), language (e.g., Cohen et al, 2000), cognitive (e.g., Frazier et al, 2004) and sensory functioning (e.g., Yochman et al, 2006). As well as children with ADHD frequently meet the criteria for sensory modulation disorder (SMD) pertaining to the sensory domain (Miller et al, 2001)
