Emerging Therapies and Future Directions in the Management of ADHD Clinical review article | Evidence-informed perspective | October 2026 Abstract Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmentally inappropriate inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning across settings. Although pharmacotherapy, behavioural interventions, parent training, educational accommodations and cognitive-behavioural approaches remain central to management, emerging research is expanding the therapeutic landscape. Digital therapeutics, wearable technologies, neuromodulation, precision psychiatry, novel medication formulations and interventions targeting executive functioning are being investigated to improve individual outcomes. However, innovation must be distinguished from established clinical efficacy. Several emerging approaches show promise, while others have inconsistent evidence or remain experimental. Recen...

What If Parenting Becomes AI-Based Some Day? Lessons from the Four Parenting Styles *artificial intelligence, parenting, human development and the future of raising children* Imagine a future in which parents no longer need to decide how to respond when their child refuses to study, throws a tantrum, lies about homework, demands a mobile phone or struggles to control anger. Instead, they ask an artificial intelligence assistant: “What should I do now?” The AI observes the situation, analyses the child's behaviour, considers the child's developmental stage and recommends a response. Initially, this may sound like an ideal future. Every parent could have access to personalized guidance, developmental information and strategies for managing difficult situations. Parents would no longer need to depend entirely on their own childhood experiences, social traditions or advice from relatives. An AI system could help them understand the possible reasons behind a child's behaviour an...

L-1-79 के इंटरनेट पर हो रहे प्रचार, डॉ. कोंडेकर के दृष्टिकोण और GDCA (Goal Directed Cognitive Approach) के अंतर्गत ऑटिज़्म प्रबंधन के लक्ष्यों पर चर्चा  L-1-79: इंटरनेट पर ऑटिज़्म के लिए चर्चा में आई नई दवा — जानिए इसके पीछे की सच्चाई क्या यह ऑटिज़्म के मूल लक्षणों को सुधारने वाली नई दवा है? और क्या दवा से अधिक महत्वपूर्ण हैं विकास के सही लक्ष्य? ऑटिज़्म से जुड़े सोशल मीडिया और इंटरनेट पर L-1-79 को लेकर काफी चर्चा हो रही है। कुछ रिपोर्टों में इसे ऑटिज़्म के मूल लक्षणों को प्रभावित करने वाली संभावित नई दवा के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया गया है। लेकिन किसी नई दवा की संभावनाओं, उसके वैज्ञानिक प्रमाणों और उसके वास्तविक चिकित्सकीय उपयोग के बीच अंतर समझना आवश्यक है। **डॉ. कोंडेकर कहते हैं — किसी नई दवा की चर्चा सुनकर सबसे पहले यह पूछिए कि वह बच्चे के विकास में वास्तव में क्या बदलाव ला सकती है।**  1. L-1-79 आखिर है क्या? L-1-79 एक शोधाधीन औषधीय अणु है। यह tyrosine hydroxylase को प्रभावित करके catecholamine synthesis और dopamine signalling को मॉड्यूलेट करने के लिए विकसित किया जा...

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), occupational therapy (OT) should be recommended primarily when a child has a demonstrable functional difficulty that interferes with daily activities, participation, learning, or independence—not simply because the child has a developmental diagnosis. ALL ADHD KIDS DONT NEED OT.  For children with autism, the AAP specifically identifies the following common indications: Fine-motor difficulties Poor grasp Difficulty manipulating objects Difficulty using crayons, pencils, scissors, buttons, zippers, etc. Poor hand coordination or dexterity Adaptive/self-care difficulties Dressing and undressing Brushing teeth Toileting-related skills Feeding with spoon/cup Personal hygiene Other activities of daily living Handwriting and visual-motor difficulties Poor pencil control Difficulty copying/drawing Difficulty writing Difficulty with classroom fine-motor tasks Feeding-related functional difficulties Di...

A useful clinical distinction is that “sensory overload,” “sensory diversion,” and “proprioceptive need” can produce superficially similar behaviours—movement, covering ears, pushing, crashing, running away, aggression, repetitive activity—but their mechanisms and intervention targets are different. Differential clinical discussion 1. Sensory overload Sensory overload is a state in which the incoming sensory load exceeds the child’s ability to organize, filter, or regulate it. The child is not necessarily seeking more sensory input; rather, the child may be trying to escape or reduce input. Typical triggers include loud or multiple sounds, crowded environments, bright lights, touch, smells, or simultaneous demands. Behaviour may include: covering ears or eyes crying, screaming or shutting down escaping the environment pushing people away irritability or aggression increased stereotypies temporary loss of communication or cooperation The important clinical clue is contextual relationshi...

What sensory system is involved? What pattern is occurring? What mechanism is producing the behaviour? The major clinical controversy is that a child may display a “sensory-looking” behaviour without the primary problem actually being sensory. Therefore, sensory assessment should explain behaviour, not automatically become the treatment target. KONDEKAR SENSORY FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS A practical framework for sensory issues, sensory mimics and goal-directed sensory intervention “Sensory exercises should be a medium, not the destiny of therapy.” — Dr Kondekar The purpose of sensory assessment is not to label every unusual behaviour as a sensory disorder. Its purpose is to determine whether a sensory factor is actually interfering with receptiveness, attention, cognition, communication, behaviour or participation . A useful clinical sequence is: SENSATION → PERCEPTION → REGULATION → ATTENTION → MEANING → COGNITION → COMMUNICATION → PARTICIPATION If sensory intervention imp...
