Planning for Treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

In earlier chapters, we introduced a distinction between primary and secondary handicapping conditions for children with learning disabilities. As discussed, primary handicapping conditions are neurologically based, and include learning disabilities, speech-language disabilities, gross and fine motor dyscoordination, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Chapter 9 discussed remediation of learning disabilities and any associated deficits in speech-language and gross or fine motor dyscoordination. This chapter addresses remediation of ADHD.
