Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral condition of childhood. Consequences are multifaceted and include activity limitations in daily-living skills, academic challenges, diminished socialization skills, and motor difficulties. Poor handwriting performance is an example of an affected life skill that has been anecdotally observed by educators and clinicians for this population and can negatively impact academic performance and self-esteem. To guide health and educational service delivery needs, the authors reviewed the evidence in the literature on handwriting difficulties in children with ADHD. Existing evidence would suggest that children with ADHD have impaired handwriting performance, characterized by illegible written material and/or inappropriate speed of execution compared to children without ADHD. Studies with larger sample sizes using standardized measures of handwriting performance are needed to evaluate the prevalence of the problem and to better understand the nature of handwriting difficulties and their impact in this population.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是儿童期最常见的神经行为疾病。其后果是多方面的，包括日常生活技能方面的活动受限、学业挑战、社交技能减退以及运动困难。书写表现不佳就是受影响的生活技能的一个例子，教育工作者和临床医生在这个群体中凭经验观察到了这一点，它会对学业成绩和自尊产生负面影响。为了指导健康和教育服务的提供需求，作者回顾了文献中关于ADHD儿童书写困难的证据。现有证据表明，与没有ADHD的儿童相比，ADHD儿童的书写表现受损，其特征是书写材料难以辨认和/或执行速度不当。需要进行更大样本量的研究，采用标准化的书写表现测量方法，以评估该问题的患病率，并更好地了解书写困难的本质及其对这个群体的影响。
