Recommendations for occupational therapy interventions for adults with ADHD: a consensus statement from the UK adult ADHD network.

Background: ADHD is neurodevelopmental disorder which persists into adulthood. Presently, therapeutic approaches are mainly pharmacological and psychological whilst the role, scope and approaches of occupational therapists have not been adequately described.

Results: In this consensus statement we propose that by assessing specific aspects of a person's occupation, occupational therapists can deploy their unique skills in providing specialist interventions for adults with ADHD.
