Understanding ADHD on The Storybook “Aku Juga Ingin Jadi Spesial”

Abstract

ADHD is a neurological developmental disorder characterized by inattention, disorganization, and hyperactivity-impulsivity, affecting children’s learning abilities, social behavior, and communication, which complicates acceptance from peers. This study employs a library research method to explore literature on ADHD, focusing particularly on the book Aku Juga Ingin Jadi Special by Felicia Amara, published by the Language Development and Fostering Agency in 2022. Data collection involved content analysis of this book and relevant academic sources, utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach to gather insights and information about ADHD. The results indicate that Amara's book, with its easily understood storytelling style, has the potential to serve as an effective educational medium for children and teachers, helping to foster social understanding toward peers with different abilities. This study highlights the importance of the book in supporting inclusive learning environments and enhancing ADHD literacy among children.
