I thoroughly enjoyed this paper, as it discussed in further detail many of the issues we have researched and learned about so far throughout this course. I really feel as though you did a great job in explaining further ADHD and discussing the potential needs of a child who suffers with this behavior problem. For example, your list which included posting rules and schedules, figuring out the individual needs of the children, and for the teacher and parents to work together in planning educational endeavors. I think these are invaluable in minimizing behavioral problems in the classroom. Focussing on those things that are particularly difficult for the child is another item listed in dealing with children who have behavioral problems. This is a fantastic strategy in teaching children with ADHD and a great way for them to learn and overcome difficult topics. I enjoyed also reading about epilepsy and seizures. I strongly agree that a child who suffers from these health problems should not be excluded from classroom activities. It must be difficult enough to cope with the health problem itself, without having to deal with exclusion and feeling like an outsider - and I would hope that those parents who choose to overide this concept and insist on their child's exclusion, carefully consider the consequences and really examine all the issues before making such a decision. Finally, rather than enlisting your child in activities and programs from which he will often be excluded, it is best to examine and explore all the program available and make a decision which meets his or her needs the best.
