Navigating ADHD in Belgian Elementary Schools: Teacher Insights and Intervention Gaps
The positive characteristics of a pupil with ADHD were more apparent in our research than in previously conducted studies. We also shed light on interventions within the classroom environment to support learning, such as teachers' mixed feelings about medication administration and the importance of providing information to peers. Most teachers unanimously expressed a significant lack of knowledge regarding classroom interventions due to minimal coverage in their teacher training, highlighting a need for accessible and relevant tools to address ADHD in pupils.
