Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common disorders worldwide, affecting both children and adults. It has significant impacts on the social, academic, behavioral, life aspects, and the quality of physical and mental health in general. Thus, prompting the need for effective intervention programs, accurate diagnosis assessment, and other services to support children with the disorder to develop their skills and enhance their lives is necessary. Technology is making tremendous contributions in the field of special education through its growing development in many fields and specialties. The main purpose of this chapter is to highlight, by presenting different types and contributions, the existing assistive technology for children living with ADHD. Steps for choosing appropriate devices as well as challenges that meet some Arabian country teachers in using assistive technology and recommendations for the effective use for students with ADHD in education are presented and discussed.
