Text version of the article
California Teachers Association
Among the key ideas are:
- this is a brain disorder--it's not that the students are trying to be annoying
- larger class sizes make for more challenging circumstances for teachers
- ADD/ADHD is the most common behavior disorder among children
- self-regulation is a key deficit
- these kids need "wiggle time"
- article also covers teaching strategies, medication, and what life is like for someone who has the diagnosis
To learn more about ADD/ADHD, please visit the Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder website at www.chadd.org or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd.

This is my personal story of my ADD ADHD Self Help, Self Healing. My high school age son is also waking up to what's really going on too, and we both are doing great, no meds, no counseling, just insight and a willingness to be ourselves. http://www.profound-self-help.com/adhd-self-help.html
