Overview

This study investigated a state school counsellor's views regarding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and explored lessons that may be adopted when working with ADHD learners in a formal classroom setting. The study was conducted through a face-to-face interview with a self-employed, South West, UK based school counsellor and psychotherapist. This interview and analyses showed the implication regarding formal education including access to resources and regarding learners needs before conditions. Moreover, the need in taking a holistic approach to learners with ADHD and the importance of seeing the learner within a wider context than just a medical diagnoses. There is a need to do further research into what other professionals such as therapists, social workers and possibly those on the fringes of medicine and education may contribute to working with ADHD learners within a more holistic paradigm. More specifically, would be to investigate further techniques from psychotherapists and school counsellors in working with ADHD students in the classroom.
