This comprehensive manual provides you with what you need to learn--and help others learn--about the knowledge and skills that are essential to educating students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

 

The manual is organized around the following topics:

  • Characteristics and needs of students with ADHD.
  • Policy and procedures governing services for students with ADHD.
  • Assessment and identification.
  • Intervention for students with ADHD.
  • The role of collaboration and teamwork.

Each section contains background information, lecture notes, discussion questions, activities, roleplays, overheads, and handouts.

 

The manual has been successfully field tested in inservice workshops and in university teacher and administrator preparation courses. It is an excellent aid for school-based teacher study teams as well.
