Abstract :
Background: The common psychiatric disorder of attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the knowledge of
teachers about it are well discussed in literature. While teachers
can play an important role for the management of ADHD, it is
not clear whether informing of teachers about children with
ADHD affects their behavior and attitude toward the children. In
the present study, we studied whether the disclosure of children
with ADHD is associated with social rejection and negative attitude
of their teachers. In addition, we studied the perception of
teachers for treatment and its benefits
