for Students with ADHD / Preschool Through Grade 4

Practical Ideas That Really Work for Students with ADHD–Second Edition is just what many educators have been looking for:

» A product that provides teachers with practical and sensible solutions for students’ problems with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
» A resource for teachers, behavior specialists, psychologists, counselors, and administrators who must document interventions.
» A tool for IEP committees who are charged with developing accommodations for students with ADHD.
» A sourcebook for prereferral intervention teams, who plan strategies for students before their placement in specialized programs.
The materials include two components:
» An easy-to-use Evaluation Form to rate a student’s behaviors that interfere with learning and a matrix to select appropriate interventions and
» A book of Practical Ideas, containing suggestions for interventions, explanations of strategies, reproducible forms, and helpful examples.

The rating scale consists of 54 items measuring three areas—inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity—and is linked directly to the planning matrix, which allows for the selection of several appropriate interventions. It has been field-tested to ensure reliability and validity. Reliability coefficients range from .96 to .97.

This second edition is organized into two age-appropriate versions:
Pre-school through Grade 4, and Grade 5 through Grade 12. All ideas and forms have been updated, and approximately 50% of the ideas have been changed substantially (e.g., new forms have been included) or are completely new.
