Synopsis

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be hard to include in a mainstream classroom, and managing their behavior is often a challenge.

This interdisciplinary approach provides teachers with: 

• Strategies to deal with disruptive behaviors 
• Methods for channeling children′s positive characteristics 
• Advice on supporting and guiding parents 
• Behavior management techniques to promote positive change 
• Guidelines for collaborating and building partnerships with other professionals
