Ritalin and Reading: A Reaction to Mick.
Cooter, Robert B., Jr.; Werner, Patrice H.
Intervention in School and Clinic, v26 n5 p304-05 May 1991
In response to a critique by Lori Bell Mick (EC 600 580), the original author counters objections to ideas concerning the nature of Ritalin, Ritalin's side effects, drug dependency, and teachers as classroom pushers. The response concludes that evidence for Ritalin's positive effect on reading achievement in children with attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity is lacking. (DB)
