Introduction And Development:
This work is a compendium of the research conducted in recent years by a team from the University of Valencia on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It describes three large areas of study: the progress made in the differential characterisation of the subtypes of ADHD, as well as its comorbidity profiles, the discriminative capacity of neuropsychological tasks in the evaluation of children with ADHD, and the analysis of how effective multicomponent and multicontextual interventions are in children with ADHD.
Conclusions:
The joint analysis of the findings from these studies establishes a series of reflections and guidelines that undoubtedly offer benefits both in delimiting the distinct subtypes of ADHD and in improving intervention procedures.
