These guidelines and proposed program for Texas children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were developed by a legislatively mandated multidisciplinary committee. An executive summary notes that 2 to 5 percent of elementary school children meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and recommends strategies including: instruction that modifies and clarifies student assignments and restructures the educational environment; consultation services for classroom teachers; professional support for children with behavioral and emotional difficulties; ongoing evaluation of the child's educational needs; services to help the child's family meet the child's needs; and access to other support programs for which the child may be eligible. Recommendations for a statewide program include: establishing a state level coordinator for ADHD programs; supplementing each education service center with a professional staff member to provide local school districts with technical assistance; establishing a district level ADHD facilitator; 6 hours of training for teachers in identification and instructional strategies; and expansion of support services. Appendices include two papers: "Research Paper: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder"; and "Medication Management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (Carol Daniel) and a memorandum from the U.S. Department of Education clarifying policy on serving this population.
