title: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and communication disorders. Issues and clinical practices.
abstract: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is reviewed from the perspective of speech-language pathology, and various characteristics of the communicative process that co-occur with ADHD are presented. Incorporating Barkley's "inhibition model" with a systems theory approach and a functionality component, implications for service delivery and intervention are discussed. Five specific types of interventions are presented to encourage collaboration.
