The National Hsinchu University of Education in Taiwan recently conducted a survey to see if ADHD students were getting the help they needed. As it turns out, they’re not.
There were 510 suspected cases or confirmed ADHD cases among 25,180 students in 40 elementary schools around the country, and fewer than half of the confirmed ADHD cases were provided with special education. ...
The low ratio of students receiving special education is mostly caused by the limited number of special education classes being provided. [Source: Central News Agency]
While the laws in Taiwan may be different, in the United States, a child who’s diagnosed with ADHD has the legal right to a specialized education plan. Teachers and school administrators are required to help develop a plan that will take the student’s ADHD into consideration, and provide the best possible learning environment.
