Abstract
As defined in the 4th edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 1994), Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness, though it can present with or without hyperactivity. ADHD is the most common childhood mental health disorder, with an estimated prevalence of 7% to 10% in boys and 3% in girls aged 4-11 years (Sgrok et al., 2000). This disorder substantially affects the individual’s normal cognitive and behavioral functioning. For example, children with ADHD can have a great deal of difficulty focusing on lessons presented by their teachers and remembering how to do their homework. They may often be easily distracted whereby they pay attention to other things than what they should.
