This practical guide is divided into three clear sections which focus on:
* the nature of AD/HD and its impact on the individual in school, as well as the ways in which it can be most accurately diagnosed
* the principles and practices of intervention, including specific educational interventions and behaviour management techniques
* a series of case studies illustrating the nature of AD/HD and its relationship with other difficulties making suggestions for school-based interventions.
Rooted in the experiences of practitioners who work with children with AD/HD every day, this book draws on up-to-date research evidence to challenge crude assumptions about AD/HD and argue that the best way to understand it is as a condition in which biological and environmental factors interact.
Paul Cooper, School of Education, University of Cambridge, was the first to publish a practical book on AD/HD and is considered to be the expert on AD/HD.
Fintan O'Regan is Head of The Centre Academy, a London school which specialises in educating pupils with AD/HD
