Abstract

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder originating in childhood.Multimodal assessments not only provide a wealth of information to facilitate a more precise diagnosis of ADHD,but also lends critical support to the decision-making process involved in creating tailored and personalized therapeutic interventions.Therefore,this article delineates and examines the current status of ADHD assessment,multimodal assessment methods,and future development trends,with the aim of improving the understanding of multimodal assessment methods and enhancing the quality of diagnosis and treatment for children with ADHD through their application.

Key words
