Sydney S. Zentall, the foremost researcher in the education of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), provides educators with evidence-based knowledge about teaching students with ADHD and explains how these individuals differ from students with other disabilities. 

Based on the premise that educators are committed professionals, ADHD and Education: Foundations, Characteristics, Methods, and Collaboration provides information for teachers who want to understand the perspectives of students who have ADHD as well as their families and educators who work with them. 

This book:

• Provides empirically-based methods and strategies to successfully teach students with ADHD.
• Offers techniques for effectively collaborating and consulting with other teachers, service personnel, and family members.
• Discusses the limitations and controversies related to this complex disorder.

Reader Reviews
Dr. Zentall provides some compelling research and practical strategies to help teachers and parents understand how to teach children with ADHD more effectively. We found out about this book through our family coach, Kirk Martin, of Celebrate!ADHD. He uses a similar approach that has worked wonders with our son--by discovering a child's natural learning style and working WITH it, instead of against it. He has a free newsletter that provides helpful tips at the Celebrate!ADHD website. Highly recommend Dr. Zentall's book along with Celebrate!ADHD and The Nurtured Heart Approach.
