Course description
Children who are labeled ADD/ADHD are perceived as having a deficit, as the name implies, and they are often viewed as having behavior that needs to be corrected. Learn an alternative approach that views all children as having unique learning styles and personalities. Children who are diagnosed as ADD/ADHD have learning styles and personalities that can be, and should be, valued both in the classroom and in the community. Many of their characteristics resemble those of children who are very creative. Discover how these students learn and how their learning styles can be met within a classroom to help them work from their strengths and be valuable contributing members in the classroom and community.

Offered cooperatively by Portland State University and NW Teachers' Learning Center.
