ADHD: Facts, fallacies and should we just say no to medication or not? Episode 19 of the School Psychology Podcast



In this episode, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the Special Education Classification of Other Health Impairment (OHI) are discussed. Based on research, medication is one of the most effective methods of managing ADHD symptoms. While many people are reluctant to consider medication, there are many "side effects" to under-treatment of this disorder. Behavioral and educational approaches are also discussed in this podcast. Research, facts and fallacies as well as controversies are reviewed.
