Management of children with ADHD is critical; it means providing the right structure, environment, behavior modifications and, in the classroom, appropriate teaching strategies. Without these, the child with ADD is truly learning disabled, in that he or she is not available for learning. Â Here are nine pages of tested advice on what makes a good parent-manager, and how to be a good teacher-manager. This article is available as part of our E-Book, Managing ADHD at School
Harold Meyer and Susan Lasky are both Board Certified and Senior Certified ADHD Coaches.
