Paul Cooper and Fintan O'Regan have produced a concise and comprehensive guide to including and educating children with AD/HD.

Based on the views of pupils who have been excluded from mainstream schools, this book offers sensible guidelines to reducing disaffection in both mainstream and segregated schools.

The authors present evidence of the success of nurture groups, and examine what factors affect the success of the group. From this they draw key messages for effective practice, including the importance of recognising a child's emotional needs and meeting them, and the role of the relationship between the teaching staff co-ordinating the group.

The contributors stress that EBDs are a form of communication, albeit an antagonistic one, and evaluate the success of different methods of intervention in clinical, educational and family settings. They argue that successful intervention requires an appreciation of the complex interplay in the social and personal factors affecting each child.
