ADHD in the Classroom : Strategies for
Teachers
by Russell A. Barkley |
When students with ADHD are in the classroom, teachers are
doubly challenged. They have to create an environment that addresses the needs of the
child with ADHD, without diminishing the needs of the other children. This video is
designed specifically to help teachers with their students with ADHD, thereby providing a
better learning environment for the entire class.
The program features Russell A. Barkley, a noted authority on ADHD, who describes the
disorder and brings the audience into a classroom of students with ADHD. Viewers will see
the problems teachers encounter with children with ADHD and the solutions that behavior
management can provide. The program features interviews with teachers and other education
experts combined with helpful visual graphics and illustrations.
An effective four-step plan for avoiding potential problems is presented, and the
incorporation of social skills into the curriculum is demonstrated. The audience sees
firsthand how to implement such behavior management methods as color charts and signs,
point system, token economy, and turtle-control technique.
Manual
An informative resource on its own, the accompanying 42-page manual reviews the
characteristics of ADHD in detail and covers educational management strategies. A bonus
feature is an encapsulation of Russell Barkley's insightful new theory on the nature of
ADHD. Appendices provide information on medications and a suggested reading list with
recommendations on books for teachers and school professionals, as well as for children,
their siblings, and parents. Easy to use, the list of publishers and sources of
information includes addresses.
