Abstract
As discussed in the introductory chapter, the hyperactive child is not defined in isolation from a behavioral setting. The perceptions, beliefs, and expectations of persons in the environment, as well as the nature of the environment itself, have an impact on the identification and course of treatment for hyperactivity. Some environments are more accommodating, and some are considerably less flexible in their adaptation to individual differences among children.
