Sensorimotor speech control in young adults with ADHD

Crystal Dahm
The purpose of this research was to observe differences in sensorimotor speech control in participants with and without ADHD (n=49). Speech samples and quantitative somatosensory assessments were collected along with diagnostic interviews. Participants with ADHD demonstrated a faster speech rate than controls when recounting a story (p= .017) A negative correlational relationship was identified between spoken syllables per second and diagnostic assessments of ADHD. Further data analysis will be completed at the time of presentation.
