ADHD
Also known as: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder
A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning and development. ADHD affects working memory, executive function, and the ability to sustain attention on tasks. For digital accessibility, this means designing interfaces that minimize distractions, support task focus, provide clear progress indicators, allow for breaks, and avoid time pressure. Content should be scannable with clear headings, and important information should not rely solely on sustained attention to discover.
