Beyond the ADD Myth

Description

Thomas Armstrong, a psychologist, consultant, and former teacher, believes that labels such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often create more problems than they solve. Dr. Armstrong feels that the behaviors associated with ADD and ADHD result from a wide range of social, psychological, and educational causes, and are not solely due to neurological dysfunction. Join Dr. Armstrong, Kaye Mentley, and other professionals who focus on educating students by providing them with nurturing, stimulating, and encouraging interventions. View programs in action that focus on a "wellness" model of children and learning. Produced for staff development and training for classroom teachers, this video provides an array of teaching strategies to work with children who are often diagnosed/misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder.
