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.
