| dc.description.abstract | This was an expost-facto research study aimed to identify the intelligence among Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) children. The study was conducted on a sample of 52 children comprised of 26 ADHD and 26 the Best children of V standard from eight randomly selected Government primary kannada medium schools of Dharwad city in Karnataka State. Their age ranged from 10 to 12 years. ADHD children were identified and assessed using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder by the class teachers. Correspondingly to compare the intelligence of ADHD children with the Best children, same number of boys and girls were selected by the class teachers from the same schools and classes to which ADHD girls and boys belonged. Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) was administered individually on ADHD and Best children to assess their intelligence. The results revealed that the prevalence of ADHD among the children was around 6 per cent and the boys and the girls ratio was 3:1. The percentage of prevalence of inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity and ADHD among the boys was higher compared to the girls. But the boys and the girls were similar in the intensity of expression of inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity and ADHD. The boys and the girls of ADHD and the Best children were similar in their IQ within their own group. But the Best children were significantly superior in their verbal, performance and composite IQ compared to the children of ADHD. Similarly, the ADHD children fell in very low percentiles on verbal comprehension, perceptual organization, freedom from distractibility and processing speed compared to the Best children. Only perceptual organization of intelligence was positively and significantly related to ADHD. | en_US |
