Managing ADHD in School: The Best Evidence-Based Methods for Teachers

I have found this book really helpful as a teacher. It provides a framework for how to think about ADHD and tips for how to help kids manage it. Spoiler: there is no quick fix. As an ADHD person myself, this books helps the reader understand how to approach ADHD in the classroom and how to brainstorm management solutions. But there is no universal quick fix for succeeding in the classroom with ADHD. This books has helped me think through how to support ADHD students, how to initiate supports that really all students can benefit from.

I read it and bought it for my kids teachers. Very helpful and informative! Lots of helpful tips. Every teacher should read it.

Managing ADHD gives wonderful insights and information on the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. After teaching for years, I thought I knew a great deal about ADHD. This book has greatly expanded my knowledge and compassion.

The book is a quick read, in a nutshell type of book. I like that it stresses these students need accommodations for the long term. My disappointment in the book is it states evidence based in the title and does not source in the text what study can be drawn from to support the technique. It does give a reference page in the back but it is not cross referenced in the text. Also, I could not find a study to support the time theory. I see they don't experience time the same as typical kids through experience and I was excited to see this in the text thinking, again by the title, that I would have evidence to support the theory but no. None of the studies referenced appeared to explore that aspect. I would have given it a 3 star for the evidence based but it was more than OK for easy to use content.

A wonderful resource if you have are dealing with a school aged child. Highly recommend.!

After watching all of Dr. Barkley’s YouTube videos I purchased this book to help with my child’s schooling issues. This book is filled with very, very practical advice.

As a sufferer of ADHD myself, a parent of ADHD children and a teacher and advocate of ADHD students, I cannot praise Dr. Barkely's work enough. There is a LOT of rubbish printed out there about this disorder, often made to look factual when it isn't. If you want real information and strategies that really work to support children with ADHD, then Dr. Barkley's work should be the first and last place you look.

Informative and worth buying if you work with ADHD kids or work in a school.

I have ordered this book as a reference for my term paper and I could find all information I wanted to know. Very good to read and understand. A lot of details about the disease itself and useful suggestions for teachers and parents, too.

Fantastic information about ADHD. Thank you!

It's exactly what I was looking for.

I purchased two copies of this book in 2019 and still refer to it today. One copy went to the school teacher and one is home with me. This way we can refer to pages with each-other and bounce ideas back and forth. It has been a guide point in managing my sons symptoms. This read is essential and its methods are relevant to our time.

Great informative book.
