Abstract:

The paper by Gillberg, `ADHD and DAMP', provides an analysis of the scientific status of the concept of Deficits in Attention Motor Control and Perception (DAMP) in the light of the overlap between Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) and Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD), and the current uncertainty surrounding the significance of AD/HD - DCD co-morbidity.
