Educating Children with AD/Hd: A Teacher's Manual

By Fintan O'Regan

"Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is the most common behavioural disorder affecting up to 5% of children in the UK. This book provides a concise and comprehensive guide to educating children with AD/HD. It offers a theoretical introduction to AD/HD and practical guidance to the classroom teacher on how to support children with this condition. The book is divided into three sections: Part One focuses on the nature of AD/HD and its impact on the individual in school, as well as the ways in which it can be most accurately diagnosed. Part Two addresses the principles and practices of intervention, including specific educational interventions and behaviour management techniques. Part Three is structured around a series of case studies illustrating the nature of AD/HD and its relation to other difficulties, and makes suggestions for school-based interventions The book is rooted in the experience of practitioners who work on a daily basis with children with AD/HD, and draws upon up-to-date research evidence on the topic. The authors challenge crude assumptions about AD/HD and argue that the best way to understand AD/HD is as a condition in which biological and environmental factors interact. The book is suitable for use as a teaching manual and a training resource. It will help teachers, other educational workers and students develop a sense of empowerment in relation to AD/HD."
