Three-hundred and ninety-six teachers of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) in Wisconsin provided information about 1,300 students in their classes who were receiving medication for treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Results of the survey revealed that 40% of elementary school, 32% of middle/junior high school and 15% of high school students with EBD were identified as having ADHD and were being treated for it with medication. The teachers reported that the most common types of medication were Ritalin (66%), Dexedrine (11%), Cylert (7%), and Imipramine (5%). The most frequent morning dosage for Ritalin and Dexedrine was 10 mgs. Teachers of students with EBD did not believe that ADHD was underdiagnosed, and they did believe that medication effectively reduced maladaptive behavior.
