Practical Ideas That Really Work for Students with ADHDSecond 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.

Components:

1. An
   easy to use evaluation form to rate a students behaviors that
   interfere with student learning and a matrix to select appropriate
   interventions; and
2. A book of practical ideas, containing
   suggestions for interventions, explanations of strategies, reproducible
   forms, and helpful examples.

The Rating ScaleThe
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. In addition
the scale differentiates between students with ADHD and students without
ADHD. Students with ADHD were rated significantly higher on the scale
than other students.
