- Abstract:
- ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed disorders among school aged children and adolescents. Behaviors often observed among children with ADHD have been found to disrupt the teaching process. While research in the area of teacher’s perceptions of ADHD is growing, there remains insufficient literature available concerning teachers’ perception of specific barriers. As the satisfaction of beginning teachers is tenuous, particularly as it pertains to working with students with behavior problems, identification of the salient \ barriers to beginning teachers’ success with such students is paramount. The current study examines teacher’s perception of specific barriers to teaching high school/middle school grade students with ADHD. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire and a perceived barriers questionnaire on the internet. The results indicated that, while teachers perceive a need for increased ADHD training, no significant relationship between teaching experience and endorsement of training as a significant barrier was identified. Also, there was no significant relationship between level of experience and strategy implementation (containing positive reinforcement or not).
