Two clinical psychologists and a K-12 teacher authored this text offering parents and teachers a clinical perspective on ADHD and strategies to manage its effect on study. Early chapters discuss how the disorder has been viewed historically and the importance of attention in academics. The authors go on to propose a multimodal management plan that involves assessment, medical monitoring, case management, educational supports, parental involvement, attention to the patient's diet, calming and relaxation techniques, and counseling, among other interventions. Also covered are best practices for teachers, support for ADHD patients in college, the role of technology in managing ADHD, and a review of alternative treatments parents can consider. Appendices contain supplementary tools for use with ADHD patients and a research summary.
