the child's family and teachers:
- find out more about AD/HD;
- learn how to help the child manage his or her behavior;
- create an educational programthat fits the child's individual needs; and
- provide medication, if parents and the doctor feel this would help the child.
What About School?

to pay attention and control behavior and impulse.These are areas where children
with AD/HD have trouble.
