Q SUE/ MARCUS: You know the students you're teaching have ADD -- Public school teachers may not have that information -- aren't they at a disadvantage in helping these kids?? ** How can PUBLIC schools implement Strength based TEACHING ? Dr GWARE: Your thoughts on that theory? Any anecdotatal evidence this works? ========== Q MARCUS MANN: What have you found to be the most effective TREATMENT for your ADD?
