Abstract

As part of inclusive education, teachers are likely to see two other categories of students with special needs that do not specifically fit into one of the 13 disability categories under IDEA: (a) students diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder (ADD)/attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and (b) twice-exceptional students. Both of these categories of students warrant individual attention in the discussion of inclusive education. Thus, this chapter provides an overview of ADD/ADHD and twice-exceptional students, discusses how these categories connect with IDEA, and presents important information for teachers working with ADD/ADHD and twice-exceptional students in inclusive classrooms. Specific research-based strategies that general education teachers can use to educate these students as well as resources for gaining further information are included.
