Bakgrund: Barn med Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) har svårigheter med uppmärksamhetsförmåga samt impulsivt och hyperaktivt beteende. Arbetsterapeuter genomför interventioner med mål att förbättra barns förutsättningar för lärande och att utvecklas socialt, teoretiskt och aktivitetsmässigt. Studiens syfte är att beskriva arbetsterapeutiska interventioner och dess effekter på inlärningsförmågan hos barn i åldern 6-12 år med Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Metod: Studien är gjord i form av en litteraturöversikt utifrån aktuell publicerad empirisk forskning. Resultatet bygger på 13 artiklar som beskriver effekten av arbetsterapeutiska interventioner. Resultat: Resultatet beskriver hur arbetsterapeuter arbetar med barn med ADHD genom att anpassa miljön, arbeta med barns förmåga att fungera i social kontext, påverka barns kognitiva kapacitet och anpassa aktivitet. Interventionerna beskrevs generellt ha en positiv effekt på den problematik målgruppen barn med ADHD har. Slutsats: Interventionerna påverkar och visar effekt på faktorer viktiga för barns inlärningsförmåga och utveckling. I och med det är interventionerna effektiva i arbetsterapeutiskt arbete med att förbättra inlärningsförmågan hos barn med ADHD.

The purpose of this study was to determine, by means of a review of literature and empirical research, the impact of dietary interventions on the classroom health promotion of Foundation Phase learners with ADD. In order to reach this goal, it was imperative to illustrate the meaning of the concepts health, wellness, health promoting schools, nutrition and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). The objective of the empirical research was to determine whether dietary interventions would promote the health of Foundation Phase learners with ADD in the classroom by focusing on decreasing their levels of hyperactivity, increasing their concentration and improving their social behaviour. In conclusion, the following are some of the findings of this study. Dietary interventions impacted positively on: the hyperactivity level of participating foundation phase learners with ADD in the classroom; the ability of participating foundation phase learners with ADD to concentrate in the classroom; and the social behaviour of participating foundation phase learners with ADD in the classroom. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2005.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether child behaviour characteristics and parental attachment are predictive of quality of friendships in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Participants were 30 children aged 8 through 12 with ADHD from local schools in Victoria and one primary care-giver for each child. Based on multiple regressional analyzes were three predictors. Anger/Alienation. Trust. and Social Problems explained unique variation in children's quality of friendship. Results provide support that the more children characterized their attachment to primary caregivers by Anger/Alienation, the lower they rated their quality of friendship with peers. In addition, the more children characterized their attachment to primary caregivers by Trust. the higher they reported their quality of friendship with peers to be. Finally, the more social problems parents reported their children experiencing the lower the children reported their friendship quality to be.
