Q: Teachers who have AD/HD.

My husband is finishing up the 4th edition of a textbook and needs info about teachers who have a lot of trouble with classroom management; and with kids who have AD/HD, specifically. And, who have diagnosed AD/HD, and undiagnosed...

 

I have read some anecdotal accounts of such teachers, but no studies. I'd be grateful to be informed, if someone knows about this.

 

Google is no help.

 

Thanks.

Hi Docbets:

It sounds like you need to search through Medline or PsychInfo and must have a school library connection to get into these sites. They are professional sites that have all the publications available but these articles are not always available to the public.

The other option is to go to your local medical school and see if you can use their online library to do some research.

 

I hope this helps,

Dr. Diana Walcutt

I see your question is about 3 years old, so I don't know if you're still working on this. Anyway, I am a teacher who was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I sent you a message yesterday, but I don't know if you got it. I would be interested in knowing what you found out in your research or if you heard from other teachers.
