- Title
Medicine Goes to School: Teachers as Sickness Brokers for ADHD.
- Authors
Phillips, Christine B.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the role of teachers as medical counsellors in handling Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) in children. The article critcizes the role of pharmaceutical companies in educating the educators to tackle autism and dyslexia for the reason that these education programs are profit motivated. The article also presents that teachers must be accurate interpreters of information for parents and healthworkers, rather than for pharmacetical companies.
