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.

This book helped me in my classroom to understand how to help students with ADD. Great strategies. Practical and easy to implement.

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.

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.
