Teacher Training aims to make teachers understand the cognitive function of children and young people with some type of disorder (developmental, behavioural, psychiatric), so that they can apply specific and therefore more effective teaching techniques, and develop a common language with clinicians who treat the child.
In the style of a Teacher Training notebook, ADHD What and what not to do presents targeted and ready-to-use instructions to successfully face 15 behaviour problems typical of Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder.
The book is divided into 15 chapters grouped into three macro sections: hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention, or the typical problem behaviours of children with ADHD in the 6-11 age group.

PRIMARY SCHOOL
In the style of a Teacher Training notebook, this is a quick guide for primary school teachers who have pupils with ADHD, which can help them learn more about the disorder and apply simple but effective strategies to deal with it and manage it in the best possible way.
BOOK STRUCTURE AND CONTENTS
ADHD – What to do and what to avoid contains “ready to use” focused instructions to successfully deal with 15 problem behaviours that school-aged children (6-11 years old) typically have.
The book is divided into 15 chapters, grouped into 3 macro-sections: Hyperactivity, Impulsivity, and Inattention:
What to o and what to avoid
The reason for each behavior is initially explained in a few brief sentences (Why does he/she do this?), followed by simple and clear indications for the teacher on the attitudes to be adopted and avoided (What to do, What NOT to do). A discussion on the topic follows (What to keep in mind) and tools and strategies are provided in How to intervene with regard to some crucial educational and didactic aspects. This is further explored in the paragraphs dedicated to Structuring and collaboration guidelines are then drawn up with parents and other school workers (The educational pact).
At the beginning of each chapter, a drawing introduces the analysed behaviour.
• Explanations of the problem behaviour being considered: Why does he/she do this? • Brief and simple indications that can be useful to the teacher as a reference point for quickly deciding What to do and reflect on What to avoid.
• A more in-depth description of the specific problem behaviourbeing worked on: Analysis of the problem behaviour. • The tools and educational strategies to create the intervention: How to intervene.
Each chapter closes with The expert advice: reflections to further understand and enrich the teacher’s “briefcase of educational tools”.
