This study investigated a state school counsellor's views regarding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and explored lessons that may be adopted when working with ADHD learners in a formal classroom setting. The study was conducted through a face-to-face interview with a self-employed, South West, UK based school counsellor and psychotherapist. This interview and analyses showed the implication regarding formal education including access to resources and regarding learners needs before conditions. Moreover, the need in taking a holistic approach to learners with ADHD and the importance of seeing the learner within a wider context than just a medical diagnoses. There is a need to do further research into what other professionals such as therapists, social workers and possibly those on the fringes of medicine and education may contribute to working with ADHD learners within a more holistic paradigm. More specifically, would be to investigate further techniques from psychotherapists and school counsellors in working with ADHD students in the classroom.
What does it mean to a kid to be labeled attention-deficit disordered (ADD)? Or to have "hyperactive" added to the label (ADHD)? What can teachers do to boost the success of students with attention and behavioral difficulties? Are we relying too much on medication for these kids and not enough on new perspectives on learning, child development, the child's socioeconomic and cultural background, biological and psychological research, and the learner's emotional and social needs? Armstrong urges educators and parents to look for the positive characteristics in learners who may carry the ADD/ADHD label. Are they bursting with energy? Are they intensely creative? Do they enjoy hands-on learning? Are they natural leaders? Are they unusually introspective and reflective? We need to look beyond a "deficit" approach and embrace a more holistic view of learners that includes teaching to their multiple intelligences, learning styles, and other brain-friendly approaches. For example, here are some classroom activities for kids who "can't sit still" Learning spelling words by having kids jump up out of their seats on the vowels and sit down on the consonants. Mastering the multiplication tables by forming a conga line, moving around the classroom counting from 1 to 30 out loud, and on every multiple of 3 shaking their hips and legs. Showing patterns of molecular bonding in chemistry class through a "swing your atom" square dance.
