Vilka behov har barn med adhd? : En websurvey med 66 föräldrars uppfattningar om deras barns behov i hemmet, skolan och fritidshemmet.

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to find out parents' perception of the needs of their children related to the diagnosis of adhd and how they, the school and the leisure center meet the needs. Through a websurvey where 66 participants participated, we have raised questions about their perceptions linked to the purpose. The result shows that parents of adhd children perceive that their children's needs are directly linked to their impaired ability to control their executive functions. Parents meet the needs by lowering their expectations and keeping routines. Support from the environment is also an important factor in meeting the needs of children. Regarding the school and the leisure center's satisfying children's needs, the views differ from the respondents. Some believe that the school and the leisure center adjust the activities based on the needs of the children, but others say that the staff lack knowledge in their treatment, which leads to the perception that the school and the leisure center do nothing at all. Our conclusion is that knowledge about the diagnosis adhd is a must to be able to work as a teacher and leisure teacher today, because at least one person in each class has adhd.
