Many children display ADHD-like symptoms. However, diagnosis requires at least six symptoms that interfere significantly with a child’s life for a period of time. School and home can be greatly influenced by executive function deficits that characterize the disorder. A variety of interventions are needed at home and at school to support children with ADHD. Without appropriate interventions, they may have more difficulty coping with the long-term challenges in their lives.  \nAttention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder (Frick & Brocki, 2019) characterized by executive function and attention deficits. ADHD has a genetic component, but the specific gene has yet to be identified (Capodieci et al. , 2019) . There are three categories of ADHD symptoms. Diagnosis requires at least six symptoms in a category that interfere significantly with a child’s life for more than six months. The interventions include medications and at-school and at-home supports. Without appropriate support, children with ADHD can struggle with poor grades, relationship issues, and problems with authority throughout their lifetime (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2019) . Even with appropriate support, they may have long-term challenges in their personal and professional lives.  \nCategories of Symptoms  \nSymptoms of ADHD can be divided into three categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. A child with ADHD may have symptoms in all categories, a single category, or a combination of categories. A child with inattention symptoms may seem to be forgetful, todaydream, and to be disorganized. Someone with hyperactivity symptoms may fidget, talk too much, and be in constant motion. Someone with impulsivity symptoms may be seen to blurt out in conversation, act without thinking, and have trouble being patient (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2019) . Most children have moments when they display symptoms of ADHD. However, for some children this is more than just an occasional dysregulation. Symptoms of ADHD are frequent and interfere with their daily lives (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2019) .  \nDiagnosis  \nDiagnosis requires six symptoms from inattention and/or six symptoms from hyperactivity/ impulsivity that lasts longer than 6 months (A. D.A. M. Education, 2019) . They must also demonstrate high levels of ADHD in multiple settings, such as home and school (Hinshaw, 2014) . In evaluating ADHD, teachers, parents, peers, and sometimes the child complete rating scales regarding the child’s behaviours (Hinshaw, 2014) . The number ADHD diagnoses has increased over the past decade, due to the increasing expectations that children face both in and outside school (Wienen et al. , 2019) .  \nExecutive Function Deficits  \nExecutive function is the part of the brain that manages thoughts and behaviour (Frick & Brocki, 2019) . Executive function deficits create problems in inhibition, shifting, and working memory – which are major qualities for academic success (Frick & Brocki, 2019) . Children with ADHD are missing key skills to perform academically, such as writing essays, organizing materials and ideas, memorization, reading comprehension, and math problem solving (Zeigler Dendy, 2011) . Executive function allows the brain to learn from the consequences of an action and make plans around those actions in the future (Children and Adults With AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder [CHADD], n.d. ) . Children who lack executive function will have a hard time adjusting their behaviours, or learning, based on past events and may need help to manage their behaviours.  \nHow Does It Influence Learning?  \nExecutive function deficits are a major reason for academic challenges faced by students with ADHD.
