This course will provide a practical focus on the educational problems associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD). The issues of identification and assessment will be addressed, including the role of the classroom
teacher as a member of the interdisciplinary team. Much of the course will be devoted to specific classroom interventions,
most of which will be applicable in both general and special education settings. Many of the interventions will also be
suitable for students with other learning needs, including learning disabilities.
