The study investigated interpersonal factors (socioeconomic status and family types) influencing the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among secondary school students. The design for the study is ex-post-facto. The population for the study is 80 participants who showed symptoms towards developing the disorder. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Diagnostic Instrument was used to collect data. Two hypotheses were formulated for the study. The data collected were analyzed using t-test statistics. The analysis showed that, socioeconomic status (SES) significantly contributed to the development of ADHD while, family type does not have any influence on the development of ADHD. Based on the findings, it was recommended that; school psychologists, counselors, special educators, social workers and teachers should be familiar with the symptoms of ADHD especially among secondary school students such that their therapy will be effective.
