"Not much I can do, he’s got ADHD"

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter (peer-reviewed) › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter takes a critical view of what we mean by diagnoses such as ADHD and asks how and why these have apparently become so widespread across the world in recent years. When you think about ADHD or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) or oppositional conduct disorder or anxiety, there are a number of questions that you should consider. How do we describe these? Why have they become so widespread? Where did they come from? Are they ‘problems’ of particular cultures? Do we need very distinctive interventions from specialist professionals? What can teachers do? How can we support and include without labelling in a way that limits students’ personal and educational possibilities?
