"Tips for Teachers" cards on key behavioral and student wellness issues are available at no cost to teachers, counselors, principals and other school-based personnel, thanks to a program by American Public University, a member institution of American Public University System, an accredited, online university system that serves more than 50,000 working adults studying worldwide.

Laminated, 6" x 8" cards are available featuring information from expert sources on how to recognize and help students who may be suffering from these conditions and/or situations:

- Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD)

The "Tips for Teachers" cards have many uses, including as a classroom resource, for professional training, as part of "welcome back" teacher packets, as a resource for parents, and as a resource to help satisfy school district- or state-mandated training requirements.
