Abstract
Investigates the moderating effect of maternal depression symptomatology on the relationship between ADHD symptoms and school readiness in preschool children. Mothers reported on symptoms of depression and on their child’s ADHD symptomatology. Children participated in a clinical school readiness measure. A significant moderating effect was observed. Clinical implications are discussed.
