ABSTRACT Self perception refers to the attributes or characteristics people have about themselves. Children’s self perception evolves during early childhood and is shaped by their early experiences and interactions with others. Their self perception is related to their behavioural and academic adjustment. Research shows that children with ADHD have a poorer self perception when compared to Non ADHD children. This study is an attempt to explore the difference between ADHD children and Non ADHD children on various domains of Self perception, such as Scholastic Competence, Social Acceptance, Athletic Competence, Physical appearance, Behavioural conduct, Global Self worth. The difference between the two groups in Self perception is highlighted and the need to enhance Self perception among children with ADHD is discussed in this paper.

Key Words: Self Perception, ADHD children, Non ADHD children.
