ADD/ADHD in the Classroom: Tips for Teachers and Parents

http://childdevelopmentinfo.com/learning/teacher.shtml
This is a site with loads of suggestions.  Low on theory and history but high on “Do this.”

http://addinschool.com/
Good site with basic information.  Skip the “talking head,” and go to “Classroom Interventions for Elementary School children, ages 5-12.” It’s right beneath the bald guy’s head.

Websites on Autism


http://www.specialed.us/autism/index2.htm
For those who want to really know the latest, this is THE site on autism. It is very complete and takes a little time to scan, but if there were one site I would recommend, this would be it. There are six articles.

http://autismspeaks.org/
One of the most basic but complete websites on autism

Website on Brain Development


http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/dev.html
This has all levels of information, but I would recommend going to "The Secret Life of the Brain," the PBS series.

This has down-to-earth descriptions and tips on how one can use information about the brain

Websites on Learning Disablities


http://www.ldonline.org/
If you only had one site on learning disablitlies, this would be the one I think is most respected. Go to Google for more information, but I'm not sure if you will need more.

Websites on Peer Tutoring

Probably all you will need to use this very effective program.

Website Picture and symbol communication

Do2Learn. Excellent samples of what we are working on for Belize students with impoverished receptive or expressive verbal communication (or both)

Websites on Positive Discipline

http://www.positivediscipline.com/
While this is a commercial item, one can nevertheless access information from it without buying anything. It is being tried in about 11 schools in Belize during 2007 and 2008. It has selections that are food for thought, and I think it has worthy recommendations.

http://extension.missouri.edu/publications/DisplayPub.aspx?P=GH6119   
Succinct, loaded with “to do” actions, very positive. I would consider this a “must see” site. 

Website on Positive Behavior Support

Detailed and very complete step-by-step outline of how to implement the Positive Behavior Support program.

Websites on Stimulating Learning and Creative use of the internet


http://www.amblesideprimary.com/
This is one of the most creative school websites, showing what children can do to make learning fascinating.

http://www.juliethompson.com/smart.html
Fun academic computer games for K-3 (but can be used beyond).When you explore these options, you will be hooked.  I’ve tested with a child with autism at Stella Maris, and he  was totally absorbed!
