ADHD in children
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions in children, affecting approximately 5–7% of school-age children. It manifests as persistent inattention, hyperactivity and/or impulsivity that is inappropriate for the child's developmental level. ADHD affects academic performance, social relationships, and self-esteem. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention significantly improve outcomes.
Signs by profile
Childhood ADHD presents in 3 profiles: predominantly inattentive (concentration difficulties, forgetfulness, distractibility), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (motor restlessness, impulsivity, difficulty waiting), and combined (both). Children with the predominantly inattentive profile — more common in girls — often go unnoticed as they do not disrupt the classroom but suffer in silence.
About the SNAP-IV
This test is based on the SNAP-IV (Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Questionnaire, 4th edition), one of the most widely used ADHD screening instruments worldwide for children. It evaluates inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms according to DSM-5 criteria. This questionnaire is designed to be completed by the child's parents or teachers. It does not replace a full clinical evaluation by a child psychiatrist or neuropsychologist.
