Sažetak

Hyperkinetic disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by three main symptoms: hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, and impulsiveness. There are three types of ADHD: the predominantly hyperactive/impulsive type, predominantly inattentive, and combination type. The prevalence is 2-7% of school-age children, and it is 4 to 5 times greater in male than female children. Establishing the diagnosis requires clear evidence of significant impairment in social, academic, or work functioning in at least two environments (school/kindergarten and at home). In this paper, we describe a case of a boy aged 6 years and 10 months (1stgrade of elementary school) who was referred toa multidisciplinary team assessment (child psychiatrist, psychologist, speech therapist, neuropediatrician, and EEG). A diagnosisof hyperkinetic disorder was established, and the boy was included in cognitive behavioural therapy. The inclusion of parents as cotherapists enabled better implementation of behavioural and cognitive techniques in everyday life. Early detection/diagnosis and appropriate treatment
leads to better outcomes and better child functioning, while also preventing development of secondary disorders.
