ADHD, teachers’ knowledge, KADDS, inclusive educationAbstract
ADHD is among the most frequently diagnosed child psychiatric condition. Teachers play an important role in identifying ADHD and providing appropriate education for children with ADHD. The KADDS scale is a tool commonly used to measure teachers’ knowledge of ADHD. Using the KADDS scale and a background questionnaire, we conducted a survey of a sample of Hungarian teachers (n=158). Results reveal that our sample’s general level of knowledge is 62.5%. Our statistical correlation analyses show that the two most important background factors that affect the level of knowledge are attendance at ADHD training and a family member or close relative diagnosed with ADHD.
