Unfortunately Canada is 5-10 years behind the US in dealing with ADD, and Japan is a lot further behind us. Apparently you can only get ritalin and dexedrine there as ADD meds where here there's a lot more. ADD isn't just a north american condition its universal from south african villages to Japan. Given that 8% of kids have ADHD, you'll probably have some in your class. So you might want to check out my section on Teaching Students Who Have ADD http://www.addcoach4u.com/teachingstudents/teachingstudentsadhd.html or for more clinical stuff check out the Cdn 2006 adhd guidelines http://caddra.ca/english/phys_guide.html or http://www.chadd.org for general info. konichiwa eh?
