ADHD is neurodevelopmental disorder which persists into adulthood. Presently, therapeutic approaches are mainly pharmacological and psychological whilst the role, scope and approaches of occupational therapists have not been adequately described.
In this consensus statement we propose that by assessing specific aspects of a person's occupation, occupational therapists can deploy their unique skills in providing specialist interventions for adults with ADHD. We also propose a framework with areas where occupational therapists can focus their assessments and give practice examples of specific interventions.
Occupational therapists have much to offer in providing interventions for adults with ADHD. A unified and flexible approach when working with adults with ADHD is most appropriate and further research on occupational therapy interventions is needed.
ADHD 是一种持续到成年期的神经发育障碍。目前,治疗方法主要是药物治疗和心理治疗,而作业治疗师的角色、范围和方法尚未得到充分描述。
在本共识声明中,我们提出通过评估个体职业的特定方面,作业治疗师可以运用他们独特的技能为 ADHD 成人提供专业干预。我们还提出了一个框架,其中包括作业治疗师可以关注的评估领域,并提供具体干预措施的实践示例。
作业治疗师在为 ADHD 成人提供干预措施方面有很大的作用。当与 ADHD 成人合作时,采用统一和灵活的方法最为合适,需要进一步研究作业治疗干预措施。
