How To Reach And Teach Children with ADD/ADHD:

Practical Techniques, Strategies, and Interventions

Sandra F. Rief

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the name of a group of behaviors found in many children and adults. People who have ADHD have trouble paying attention in school, at home or at work. They may be much more

active and/or impulsive than what is usual for their age. These

behaviors contribute to significant problems in

relationships, learning and behavior. For this reason,

children who have ADHD are sometimes seen as being

"difficult" or as having behavior

problems.p.35

Ferguson, Alan R Pence and Jerome Beker

Only through relationships can we really come to know who we are and what we are to do with

our lives, and for us, as child and youth workers, we oftentimes

discover the most important parts of ourselves in the mystery of our

interactions with children.
