Books by Fintan O'Regan

A complete, straightforward guide to the issues and challenges commonly faced by children and young people with ADHD and attention difficulties at home and at school - and the practical ways in which parents, carers, teachers and schools can help

Little Guide for Teachers: Supporting Behaviour in the Classroom inspires you to rethink how you manage behaviour. Using the authors' tried and tested approach, this book encourages you to manage mood as a preventative strategy for disruptive behaviour.

All children are challenging to some extent, but some are more challenging than others. Students with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) can be tough to support and teach. This pocketbook helps you to do just that. It focuses on three particular behaviour disorders: ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), CD (Conduct Disorder) and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). Fintan O'Regan, an internationally renowned expert on ADHD, explains why some children are prone to developing a can't learn, won't learn or don't care attitude. He devotes individual chapters to each behaviour pattern and uses Vicki, Liam and Darren to illustrate typical characteristics. Practical classroom strategies include lesson scenarios, with example dialogues showing how different teacher responses can lead to different outcomes. Whether you're looking for explanations, tips, ideas, or strategies (or maybe just reassurance and support) this book fits the bill.

This practical guide has tips, advice and support for teachers, teaching assistants and parents coping with children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The author has many years' experience of working with and managing ADHD children and provides winning school-time strategies.
