Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting approximately 8.2% of all Australian children and 11% of boys. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), it is characterised by developmentally inappropriate levels of inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity that can impact adversely at home, at school, and in peer-related contexts. For many students with ADHD, the classroom can be a highly demanding environment as difficulty managing unwanted behaviours can make schooling a challenging and negative experience. The increasing prevalence of ADHD in Australia and the perceived limited progress to date in regard to appropriate interventions and resources for teachers for this student group is concerning. Even though there has been recent research around schooling and ADHD from the perspective of teachers, there remains fewer studies devoted to kinds of resources that could be helpful to teachers in their capacity to enrich the learning for these students.
