dc.description.abstract	Globally ADHD affects between 5 to 12 % of school going children (APA, 2013), with 9 to 80% of those children having learning difficulties in school (Ghahramani et al., 2016, Birrah et al.,2018). Yet it is recommended that behavioral therapy is the first line of treatment for children with ADHD (APA 2013, CHAD 2021). From this perspective, strategies for academic and behavioral management interventions are very critical especially to the teacher and parent/caregiver. The major purpose of this review article was to identify, explore and review studies that came up and implemented strategies for academic and behavioral management interventions to address challenges of children with ADHD.A literature search was conducted to identify studies on the topic of ADHD interventions and particularly those with findings on academic and behavioral management intervention strategies, conducted in the period between 2000 to 2022 and written in English were considered, a total of 40 studies met the criterion for inclusion and only (16) sixteen of those were reviewed. The findings of the review implicated that the interventions strategies that targeted both the teacher and the parent such as task modifications, get organized and physical classroom accommodation strategies (peer tutoring, physical structure adjustments) all had a significant impact on the behaviors of children with ADHD both at school and home. However, most of those children studied were taking medication for ADHD and these studies were done on smaller samples for shorter duration, therefore it is imperative that, the ADHD interventions strategies should be implemented for a longer period also on a larger sample.	en_US
