This course provides an overview of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in elementary-aged children, discussing symptoms, diagnostic methods, and guidelines for parents and teachers.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is the most common childhood disorder, affecting one to two children in every American classroom.

Because the onset of ADHD usually happens before the age of 12, it's often parents and elementary school teachers who must be able to recognize and work with it.

In this course, Greg Fabriano, Ph.D., offers insights and practical steps for identifying the symptoms of ADHD and working with ADHD students towards a positive school and home experience.

Fabiano is a professor of psychology at Florida International University who specializes in the assessment and treatment of ADHD in children.

Better understanding this extremely common disorder will give you the insight and tools you will need to manage ADHD symptoms and create a positive environment for the child.
