Social and emotional skills deficits are among the most significant problems for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Presented study offers a brief overview of the literature related to specifics of social skills in students with ADHD, particularly looks at the play therapy as possible strategy for helping with social skills improvement for students with ADHD.
