Rasti Kania Humaira

Abstract


ABSTRACT This paper delves into the multifaceted support required for children and adolescents diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Through a thorough Literature Review method, it examines the significance of tailored interventions across education, career development, and sports participation domains. Emphasizing the pivotal role of educators, parents, healthcare providers, and coaches, the paper highlights the necessity for individualized guidance and counseling to address ADHD symptoms and facilitate successful adaptation in academic, professional, and sporting contexts. Furthermore, it discusses the potential benefits of sports participation, particularly swimming, as a therapeutic avenue for enhancing concentration and mitigating hyperactive behavior in individuals with ADHD. Additionally, the paper underscores the importance of cautious medication management, considering both the potential performance-enhancing effects and associated health risks, especially in the realm of athletics.
