Abstract

Objective To analyze the characteristics of intelligence structure in preschool children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD), in order to provide theoretical basis for targeted intervention of preschool children with ADHD and DCD. Methods From July 2020 to April 2022, preschool children diagnosed with ADHD in Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children′s Hospital were screened with Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ). Children with suspicious and abnormal results were diagnosed using the American Psychiatric Association′s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition) (DSM-5) as the diagnostic criteria. Finally, 70 ADHD children were diagnosed with DCD, and 50 children with ADHD were taken as the control group. Wechsler Infant Intelligence Scale was used to test the intelligence structure of all children in this study. Results The full scale intelligence quotient (IQ) (t=2.884), verbal comprehension (t=3.059),visual spatial (t=2.198),working memory (t=2.345)and processing speed index (t=3.314) of ADHD children comorbid with DCD were significantly lower than those with simple ADHD(P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in fluid reasoning index between children in the two groups (t=0.997, P＞0.05). Compared with the scores of 10 core subtests, the scores of ADHD children comorbid with DCD were lower than those of children with simple ADHD, among which the scores of information (Z=2.285), similarities (t=2.645), object assembly (t=2.225),zoo locations (Z=3.307),bug search (t=3.033) and cancellation (t=2.299) were significantly different (P＜0.05). Conclusions The total intelligence quotient of ADHD children comorbid with DCD is lower than that of simple ADHD children, which is mainly manifested in speech comprehension, visual space, working memory and processing speed index. Therefore, in addition to the traditional psychological behavior therapy, targeted intervention should be strengthened for preschool ADHD children comorbid with DCD in training and education.
