Lecture notes with School Neuropsychology at the University of Groningen - 2014/2015
Lecture 1
Neuropsychology is becoming increasingly important at schools. An important question is what can be done in assessment and treatment at schools, and what teachers can do to help.
Most children who have problems at school are comorbid. ADHD is the biggest problem at schools, with a prevalence rate of 3 to 6% in school-aged children. Thereby, 30 to 40% of the referrals to child guidance clinics considers children with ADHD. Teachers are part of the assessment of ADHD, but do not always know how to handle children who suffer from this disorder. The children with ADHD have difficulties in complying with the rules and instructions.
