Research indicated that children diagnosed with ADHD are marked with symptoms of impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. Such neurological developmental disorder has impacted and caused executive dysfunction, emotion dysregulation, inability to receive delay gratification and time processing deficit. Such indirect impact has caused challenges on children’s ability to daily functioning.

The skill training group targeting at P1-P3 students with ADHD is designed based on evidence-based researches. We aim to refine children’s capacity to organize and plan, regulate emotionally and socially, and shape desirable behaviors. In addition, throughout these weeks of sessions, children will gain opportunities to practise their attention and mindfulness skills, which in turn, not only regain their focusing skills but also their locus of control.

Executive function is a set of higher-level cognitive ability, involving with the regulation and control of various cognitive processes such as working memory, concentration, decision making and abstract thinking. Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exerts a profound impact on one’s sociability and academic performance. Relevant researches suggest that executive function starts developing when we are three years old. Hence, early intervention and assistance is exceptionally helpful and crucial in enhancing children’s growth of executive function.

This skill training group is an evidence-and-research-based program, referencing from “PATHS Preschool/Kindergarten” program and “Tools of the Minds” curriculum to systematically foster children’s executive function.
