A Diagnostic Tool on Time Perception of Children with ADHD

ADHD is among the most common childhood developmental disorder which may affect the school achievements. Children with ADHD may show symptoms of time perception problems. Although ADHD is a clinical diagnosis with several approaches, no diagnostic tool has been designed to detect the symptoms of time perception problems in ADHD children. A computer game can be a powerful tool to be used as part of the psychological assessment and yield better accuracy in ADHD diagnosis. In this paper, we present our concept of a diagnostic tool on time perception for children with ADHD-symptoms.
