Abstract

This study aimed to identify occupational recovery processes involved in overcoming ADHD-related occupational challenges. Content analysis of 30 interviews revealed changes between the past and the present in: (a) occupational gaps – inconsistencies between occupational intentions and outcomes; (b) occupational choices – factors involved in the processes of choosing to participate in occupations; and (c) regulation of occupational efforts - in terms of intensity and duration. Findings illuminate change-promoting processes in the behaviors or perceptions of persons with ADHD regarding their occupational involvement. Identifying these processes could serve to develop interventions aimed at promoting occupational change among adults with ADHD.
