Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood. Patients with ADHD present inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity causing severe impairments on academic achievement, social and professional life and daily functioning. Medications are effective in a majority of children with ADHD, but about 30% do not respond or tolerate stimulants, and some parents refuse pharmacological treatments.Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is a safe and non-invasive technique of brain stimulation used in several neurological and psychiatric disorders, and recently in ADHD. In patients with ADHD, tDCS stimulations targeted frontal regions improve executive and attentional functioning and daily life symptoms. The objective of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of tDCS (vs sham) during cognitive-remediation exercises on ADHD symptoms (inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity as defined by DSM-5) in children with ADHD between 7 and 14 years of age.

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Exclusion criteria
Children will perform two successive interventions composed each by a set of 15 sessions of effective-tDCS combine with cognitive-training exercises.
Time frame: at 4 weeks
The ADHD Rating Scale-IV is completed independently by the parent and scored by a clinician. The scale consists of 2 subscales: inattention (9 items) and hyperactivity-impulsivity (9 items). If 3 or more items are skipped, the clinician should use extreme caution in interpreting the scale. Results from this rating scale alone should not be used to make a diagnosis.
How to Score
For inattention (IA) subscale raw score: Add the odd-numbered items
For hyperactivity-impulsivity (HI) subscale raw score: Add the even-numbered items
To obtain the total raw score: Add the IA and Hi subscale raw scores
Convert the raw scores to percentile scores by using the appropriate scoring profile provided on the back of the rating scale.
