Paying Attention to ADHD
Successful classroom management means training teachers to better serve
students with ADHD
by Leon Lynn
Abstract: Over the past decade, the number of U.S. schoolchildren
diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its
related form, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), has increased
dramatically. At the same time, recent changes in federal laws mandate
that schools provide extra support to ADHD students in both regular and
special education classes. This article provides facts about ADHD, a
profile of a successful teacher training program, and classroom
strategies for working with ADHD students.
