Teaching Students with ADHD

This comprehensive 100-page photocopiable book provides support materials for teachers working with students who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It takes an inclusive approach and is based on the belief that all students are equal members of the school community and that schools have a responsibility to enhance the learning opportunities of all students, including those with special educational needs. The book is divided into ten sections that support work in the areas of attention and learning; organisation; impulsive behaviour, and social behaviour. Each section is prefaced by comprehensive teacher notes, practical ideas, tips and implementation steps, and a broad range of useful templates and activities that teachers can tailor to their own circumstances.
