Edward Hallowell, M.D.
Psychiatrist, Specialist in ADD/ADHD
NY Times bestselling author, world-renowned speaker and leading authority in the field of ADHD. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Tulane Medical School, and the founder of The Hallowell Centers in Sudbury, Massachusetts and New York City.
He was a member of the Harvard Medical School faculty from 1983 until he retired from academics in 2004.
He has authored eighteen books on various psychological topics, including attention deficit disorder, the power of the human connection, the childhood roots of happiness in life, methods of forgiving others, dealing with worry and managing excessive busyness.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the official name used by the American Psychiatric Association, with or without hyperactivity.
ADHD is a neurological condition that is usually genetically transmitted. It is characterized by distractibility, impulsivity and restlessness or hyperactivity.
These symptoms are present from childhood on, so that they interfere with everyday functioning.
Edward Hallowell, M.D.

In Dr. Hallowell’s opinion, ADHD is a terrible term. As he sees it, ADHD is neither a disorder, nor is there a deficit of attention.
He sees ADHD as a trait, not a disability. When it is managed properly, it can become a huge asset in one’s life. He has both ADHD and dyslexia.
As he likes to describe it, having ADHD is like having a powerful race car for a brain, but with bicycle brakes. Treating ADHD is like strengthening your brakes–so you start to win races in your life.

gratification
2. Excessive task-irrelevant activity Activity that is poorly regulated to the demands of
a situation

SKILLSREENFORCE APPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS
STRATEGIES FOR CLASSROOMTweak the seating plan so the student sits next to
a good role model.Increase the distance between desks, if possible.Seat student near the teacher, front and center
away from doors and windows.Ignore minor inappropriate behavior.Acknowledge the student only when hand is
raised Send home regular progress reports.Provide short break between assignments.Have student sit on air filled rubber ball.Allow them to run errands and pass out paper.
MORE STRATEGIESUse clear verbal signals: “Freeze,” “One, two,
three eyes on me.”Use a flash light or laser pointer to illuminate
objects.Illustrate vocabulary words with small drawings
or stick figures.Ring a bell or chimes to gain attention.Allow him to run errands, to hand out paper, or to
stand at times while working.Give him a fidget toy in class to calm him down to
increase concentration.Give him an air filled rubber disk to sit on that
allows him to wiggle.
MORE STRATEGIESColor code binders to specific academic
subjects.Provide handouts that are three-hole punched
in advance.Use brightly colored paper for project
assignments.Appoint monitors to make sure students write
down assignments.Pair written instructions with oral
instructions.Use a timer in order for him to complete work
assignments.Shorten assignments or work assignments.
