Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of occupational therapy in subthreshold attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Detailed Description
Subthreshold attention deficit hyperactivity disorder may occur in a subset of children who are possibly more sensitive to their environment. Therefore, it is very important to target the elimination of symptoms with appropriate preventive therapies before this disorder occurs. One of the promising preventive therapy option may be occupational therapy. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can have a negative impact on occupational performance such as: activities of daily living, education, resting, sleeping, playing and social participation. Occupational therapists are able to provide interventions to improve engagement in daily activities on social skills, play, executive functioning, impulsivity, inattention, and motor coordination. Although the guidelines about the treatment of ADHD are primarily medically and psychologically based, certain treatment components are useful for occupational therapy practice; for example, behavioural management of the child and psychoeducational programmes for families. However, treatment recommendations for subthreshold ADHD cases or the population at risk are limited. This study investigates the effectiveness of occupational therapy in subthreshold attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
K-SADS-PL
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The K-SADS-PL is a semi-structured interview scale, which is widely used and enables evaluation in 20 different diagnostic domains.
Dunn Sensory Profile
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The Sensory Profile is a 125-item questionnaire filled out by the caregiver that describe responses to sensory events in daily life. It is a 5-point Likert scale how frequently the child uses that response to particular sensory events. This instrument evaluates the possible effects of sensory processing to a child's performance.
Secondary Outcomes
- The Conner's parent rating scale(12 weeks)
- Canadian Occupational Performance Measure(12 weeks)
- Clinical Global Impressions (CGI) Scale:(12 weeks)
- Conners' Teacher Rating Scale(12 weeks)
