This book was originally published in 2019, so it should be treated as a practical educator resource rather than the most current comprehensive statement of ADHD research. There has been additional research and evolving understanding of ADHD and executive functioning since its publication. That said, the book provides a plethora of practical classroom suggestions and ready-to-use tools.
