ADHD In The Schools by George J Dupaul
Affecting one out of every 20 children and adolescents, ADHD is often first identified by education professionals - teachers, counselors, or school psychologists. Until now, however, the literature on ADHD has primarily been written by and for clinic-based practitioners. Addressing school-related problems associated with ADHD such as academic underachievement, noncompliance with classroom rules, and problematic peer relationships, this book tells school professionals how to identify and assess students who might have ADHD and how to develop and implement classroom-based programs. Included are a number of appendices containing examples of handouts and observation coding sheets. This book is specifically designed to meet the needs of school psychologists, guidance counselors, administrators, and both regular and special education teachers. It is an appropriate text for advanced courses addressing childhood behavior disorders and also serves as a reference for graduate students receiving training in a variety of school-based professions.'Brilliant.. should be required reading for psychologists, educators, and others who are involved in the treatment of children with ADD. Its balance between scholarly and practical discussion, and between individual and systemic applications, give it a depth and thoroughness rarely seen in clinical texts.' -Child Therapy News
'An excellent book that should be required reading for school psychologists. Practitioners at every level of expertise - beginning to advanced - will learn from this work. It is well written, scholarly, and concise. It will broaden the knowledge base and competencies of practitioners and researchers and will inform anyone wishing to learn about ADHD.'- Contemporary Psychology
