If your child has Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), he or she is sure to have weaknesses in executive skills. Each child has different strengths and challenges, but all children with ADHD need help with executive skills. Researchers now believe that ADHD is primarily a disorder of executive skills, rather than of attention. Children with this condition aren’t able to regulate themselves well enough to be able to plan, control impulses or organize. It’s important to remember that not all children with weak executive skills have ADHD. However, all children with ADHD have weaknesses in one or more executive skills—because such weaknesses are part of the definition of ADHD.
