About us
Educators claim that the core of the school curriculum is the 3 R’s - Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic. When children are asked what they like about school they refer to the 4th R – Relationships. Research has shown that children and youth who have positive relationships with parents, peers, and teachers have better outcomes. That’s why, together with my research colleagues and students, I am investigating why many children and youth with ADHD and LD have challenges with the 4th R.
On this website we:
- Provide readable summaries of the results of our studies
- List and provide links to scholarly papers in professional journals that describe this research in detail
- Advertise our current studies so that we can recruit participants who might help us learn more about the 4th R in children and youth with ADHD and LD
- Provide handouts for teachers on approaches to teaching all 4 Rs to children and youth with learning and social difficulties
- Provide links to resources for parents, teachers, children, and youth who want information about ADHD or LD or who are seeking treatment for their challenges
