ADHD and schooling: looking for better ways forward

Pages 1-6 | Published online: 11 Jan 2008
 

Notes

1. See Rosemary Tannock’s contention that we ‘should pay attention to inattention’. Available online at: http://www.cheri.com.au/documents/ReachandTeachADHDRosemaryTannock.pdf.

2. See the personal communication with Russell Barkley cited in Sarkis et al. (Citation2005).

3. Most popular accounts refer to the fronto‐cortical region, but as Richard Webster acknowledges (http://www.cheri.com.au/documents/ADHDinchildrenwithneurologicaldisorderswebRichardWebsterprint.pdf) different studies point to different areas. For example, Alisdair Vance has very recently released research that points to lack of activity in the back of the brain, which is a distinctly different result from the majority of previous studies.

4. For example, Levy et al. mount an argument that can be loosely described as follows: the constellation of behaviours described by the term ‘ADHD’ are best understood as extravagant manifestations of normal heritable behaviours, and that we are looking at a continuum (e.g. high blood pressure) rather than a discrete disorder (like, for example, Down’s syndrome). Many others discuss the effects of brain trauma, encephalitis, alcohol and smoking during pregnancy.
