Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is considered one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders in childhood and causes functional impairment in multiple domains. It is known that ADHD, a lifelong disorder, does not spontaneously disappear. The current approach is that the disorder should be evaluated by including not only behavioral but also cognitive, sensory, motivational and environmental factors. Therefore, instead of focusing only on diagnostic criteria, it is extremely important and necessary to pay attention to the individual characteristics of children diagnosed with attention deficit/excessive movement disorder in order to understand them correctly, to focus on the characteristics underlying the symptoms, and to pay attention to how they receive, process and perceive sensory stimuli for accurate diagnosis and treatment processes. Considering that each individual has a unique profile, it is understood that there are many different factors that trigger attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity. Therefore, this review aims to explore the underlying sensory processing difficulties and intervention approaches in children diagnosed with ADHD through a comprehensive examination of the relevant literatüre.

Abstract

Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu (DEHB) çocukluk döneminde en sık rastlanan nöropsikiyatrik bozukluklardan biri olarak kabul edilmekte ve birden fazla alanda işlevsel bozukluğa yol açmaktadır. Hayat boyu devam eden bir bozukluk olan DEHB’nin kendiliğinden ortadan kalkmadığı bilinmektedir. Güncel yaklaşım, bozukluğu yalnızca davranışsal değil bilişsel, duyusal, güdüsel ve çevresel etkenleri de dahil edilerek değerlendirilmesi gerektiği yönündedir. Bu nedenle yalnızca tanı kriterlerine odaklanmak yerine dikkat eksikliği/aşırı hareket bozukluğu tanılı çocukları doğru anlayabilmek için bireysel özelliklerine dikkat etmek, semptomların altında yatan özelliklere odaklanmak, duyusal uyaranları nasıl aldıkları, nasıl işledikleri ve algıladıklarına dikkat etmek doğru tanı ve tedavi süreçleri için son derece önemli ve gereklidir. Her bireyin kendine özgü bir profili olduğu göz önüne alındığında, dikkat eksikliği bozuklukları ve hiperaktiviteyi tetikleyen birçok farklı etkenin mevcut olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu derlemede ilgili literatür taramaları yapılarak DEHB tanılı çocuklarda semptomların altında yatan duyusal problemler ve müdahale stratejileri açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
