Imagine your AD/HD students among the most successful in your classroom!
Diagnoses of AD/HD are exploding in the student population. As a teacher, administrator, staff developer or counselor, it is ultimately your responsibility to meet the needs of these students. This remarkable book gives educators and parents hope as it examines the positive attributes of AD/HD and builds strengths. By embracing rather than resisting differences in AD/HD students, a very productive and rewarding learning relationship is possible.
A New View of AD/HD reviews the most current research and offers practical insight into how to get the best out of these distracted students with a common-sense approach that includes concise and workable action steps. Your frustration will be dramatically reduced and your effectiveness increased when you understand how to identify and teach to strengths instead of focusing on areas of weakness.
