ADHD is a term used to classify extreme symptoms of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. It is one of the most challenging and controversial areas of special education facing teachers in schools today. This informative guide equips teachers with a wide variety of strategies for teaching and managing pupils who are diagnosed with ADHD. Fintan O'Regan also provides guidance on medication such as Ritalin, and suggests a number of ways to get parents more involved. All in all, an indispensible guide for every teacher! This new edition contains a new chapter on the range of assessment procedures available and details of the impact of ADHD throughout the world.

From the British Journal of Special Education   " The books has many strenghts, including: its structure..accessible style of writing;brevity...and an emphasis on the child or young person's perspective."   -- Margaret Wadsley
"This is the second edition of this excellent handbook for teachers...Overall it is a fascinating insight and an invaluable resource for any professional supporting young people with this condition."   Reviewed by Jenny Coffey in The Teacher, July/August 2008
