What challenges you faced during the
process
 The main challenges faced while conducting the research is that there
are chances that article source is not reliable (Uldall Torp, and
Thomsen, 2020). There are chances that article is old or it has
reviews and information which are not according to present scenario.

Article 1
 In the first article, there is explanation about outcome of children who
is diagnosed with ADHD. They suffer from presence of functional
impairment and it is defined as the behaviour and performance
needed for working at home or school. There are some school
problems present which are used for diagnosing the longitudinal
study of clinic referred samples.

Article 2

quantitative analysis which provides
information about healthcare costs.
There are findings within this research
that are helpful for evaluating
medication advices for ADHD. There
are several graphs and diagrams
shown for the research topic and these
are evaluated effectively.

Data analysis
 Article 1
 This articles tells about several
problems faced by children during
ADHD. There is need to bring children
for medical attention. This helps in
establishing severity, persistence and
nature of the school difficulties within

public policy, clinical practise and
public education.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity

(Ríos-Hernández,and et.al, 2017). There is
high risk for these children and their families

differently in school. They behave in a
different manner than normal kids. There
must be consideration of effective treatment
of ADHD so that this disorder is not affecting
daily lives of children and their families.

conducted for improving health and social care practise associated
with ADHD. There is a clinical criteria for ADHD and it is concluded
that it consists of different inclusion and exclusion criteria (Poh, and
