Description: "Framing ADHD Children explores the three social worlds of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: home, classroom, and clinic. Through intensive interviews with teachers, parents, clinicians, and ADHD children, this book brings to light the human experiences surrounding this behavior disorder. The experiences of interview participants are supplemented with the most detailed historical discussion of ADHD to date, including past and present debates about the true nature of the disorder, issues concerning children taking stimulant medications, and the continuing discussion regarding modern technology's capabilities in detecting ADHD in the brain."--BOOK JACKET.
