This month's blog is
ADHD Tools for the Classroom
.
ADHD stands for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and it is
one of the most common mental disorders both kids and adults are going
through. Just imagine, every 10th child needs a special treatment
whereas just half of them receive it. Going through ADHD is a
challenge not only for the family but for the teacher as well. School
is the place where children spend nearly half of their day learning
and socializing; thus, applying the ADHD tool options at school is an
integral part of the complex treatment.
As a preschool teachger, Guest Blogger Jennifer Broflowski found
that dealing with ADHD is a necessary tool for all educators despite
their students' age.
