This book is a wonderful resources for
parents who need to know what options the
law provides for their ADD children, for
teachers who need to understand ADD
pupils, and for anyone researching ADD
policy. It also contains a brief segment
on the history of ADD advocacy, which I
found to be very useful.

I lent my copy of The ADD
Hyperactivity Handbook for Schools to my
son's teacher. She passed it around her
school! Now I feel more confident that my
child's teachers are more aware of ADHD
and how to help children in school with
this problem. This book makes theory
practical and contains many strategies
for assessment and management of ADHD in
the classroom that teacher will beind
immediately helpful.

Dr. Parker is well known for his work
in the field of ADHD and he has put
together a masterful collection of
strategies to help teachers and students.
This book starts by helping teachers
understand what ADHD is, how it affects
students, and how it is diagnosed. The
next section of this book reviews
appropriate treatment for ADHD, starting
with medications and counseling. There is
considerable discussion of educational
interventions including behavior
management programs, accommodation plans,
behavior contracts, token economies, and
more. Reproducible checklists and
worksheets make this a very practical
handbook.
