About the book >.>.> As I introduced myself on my most recent visits the topic of where I had worked prior to my new position rose often. As I outlined my teaching and research experience invariably the issue of ADHD would catch teachers’ attention. And as I travelled from school to school I was amazed at how little had changed in teacher understandings of ADHD over the years. At one school I was told by the Principal how he doubted if ADD was real. He claimed that ADHD students were just the difficult kids that schools had always had (but with a new name). He was concerned about increasing drug use in society and the use of amphetamine treatment at a time (and in a region) that had significant drug problems already. He also remarked that if one needed to understand why a child was diagnosed with ADHD they had only need look at the parents. Comments such as these rang in my ears like echoes. (LL)
