Children who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or related symptoms such as difficulty concentrating or hyperactivity, often find school difficult. A substantial body of research looks at why school is challenging for these children and ways to help them during lessons. Almost no research though has looked at how playtimes during school are experienced by these children. Play is not only important to a child’s development, but it is important to the child. I will seek to understand how children with ADHD traits experience school playtimes and explore how a playtime improvement programme impacts children with ADHD traits.
