Teaching Tommy: A Second-Grader with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Fachin, Katharina
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n6 p437-41 Feb 1996
Recounts a second-grade teacher's efforts to help a rough-and-tumble boy diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). After comprehensive behavioral and academic programs (including token rewards, peer tutoring, resource room activities, an inclass aide) failed to stabilize Tommy's behavior, Ritalin was (successfully) prescribed as a last resort.
