Educators use inclusive strategies to support students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Positive relationships and careful consideration of ADHD treatments are key to effective classroom support.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Child Psychiatry
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Background:
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms impact school functioning.
- Limited research exists on UK school-based interventions for ADHD.
- Educator experiences with ADHD students in the UK are under-researched.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore UK educators' experiences managing students with ADHD.
- To identify factors that help or hinder ADHD support in schools.
Main Methods:
- Focus groups and interviews with 42 UK educational practitioners.
- Thematic analysis of qualitative data.
Main Results:
- Six themes emerged: broad strategies, student-centred, inclusive strategies, labelling, medication, and relationships.
- Inclusive, student-centred strategies were commonly used.
- Labelling, medication experiences, and relationships significantly impacted support.
Conclusions:
- Classroom strategies require consideration of ADHD attitudes, student relationships, and co-treatments.
- Further research is needed on implementing evidence-based school interventions for ADHD.
