The aim of this thesis is to find out how ordinary teachers work with students with ADHD / DAMP. The questions I’ve asked are, what tools are there at school to guide children with ADHD / DAMP in addition to diagnosis and the problems that teachers usually encounter when dealing with children that are thought to have ADHD / DAMP? The empirical answers indicate, that the contact with parents is of great importance, and that the teacher comes to have a clear framework and structure in the classroom. These findings tie in to the neuropsychological approach, which is based on the neuropsychological research. The ecological perspective that looks at the overall picture of the interaction between the student and the environment and the psycho-pedagogical strategy in which, among other uses behavioral modification as a tool, for instance by highlighting the positive behaviors and documents. "ADHD in the class" is a common problem and says that between one in four to one in eight persons over twenty years of age sought psychiatric help. The method to find this out, has been through semi-structured interviews, which means that I am using the same template, but after every interview I have made the assessment in order to move on to the interviewee's line and ask supplementary questions to make it as natural as possible and to minimize the risk to stop in the middle of the argument.
