Prevalence of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder in Children with Language Impairments and Speech Disorders
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to identify the prevalence of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders in children with language impairment and speech disorder. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study was 30 pupils suffering from speech and language disorders. The instrument used for the study was ADHD scale designed by the researcher, which was face and content validated by three experts. Cronbach Alpha reliability method was adopted to determine the internal consistency of the instrument, which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.86. The data collected were analyzed using frequencies and percentage. Result revealed that the prevalence of ADHD disorders generally is 46.7%, the most ADHD disorders syndromes prevalent among children with language and speech disorder are: fidget and squirm in his seat, a constant siting of readiness to go, acting before thinking, interfere in the affairs of others, weak concentration, short term for attention and easy dispersion of attention.
