Early intervention strategies for preschool children with attention defi cit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Abstract

Children with Attention Defi cit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often exhibit symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity, typically appearing before age 12. These diffi culties aff ect personal functioning, social interactions, family relationships, and academic performance. Early detection and intervention—especially before age 6 enable families, caregivers, teachers, and peers to provide timely support, helping children improve their condition and enhance learning and daily life skills. As those closest to the child, parents and caregivers need proper knowledge and guidance to support children at home. Collaboration between schools and families is essential, applying early intervention strategies such as building positive behavior foundations, strengthening attention and concentration, structuring the environment and routines, promoting positive behaviors, and empowering parents.
