Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Special Education Policy and Practice in Australia.
Prosser, Brenton; Reid, Robert; Shute, Rosalyn; Atkinson, Ivan
Australian Journal of Education, v46 n1 p65-78 Jun 2002
Outlines Australian special education policy and practice regarding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in public schools. Drawing on U.S. comparisons, considers how recent government legislation may have made the label "disability" appear pragmatic to those seeking special education assistance. Proposes that an emphasis on the social and educational aspects of ADHD would allow special education to better respond. (EV)
