ABSTRACT
However, most important of all and most difficult to implement, is the acceptance of peers and of the parents of peers regarding a child who may be seen as disruptive and difficult but who is essentially, just ‘different’. It is likely that some degree of social exclusion has already taken place: play-dates, party and sleep-over invitations may not have been received by the child with ADHD, leading to loss of self-esteem and confidence by the individual and his family.
