Abstract

Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have difficulty attending and persisting with tasks, are overactive and appear to be unable to inhibit impulsive actions or responses. Short concentration span and restlessness associated with ADHD can seriously impair the child’s learning and result in behaviour problems. This article presents a parent’s perspective on school experiences of her child with ADHD. The importance of teacher education is emphasised with some very useful strategies for teaching children with ADHD.
