Blinded me with Science: Aerobic Exercise and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

One teacher, one scientist, and one paper; but how many conclusions?

Today's post is a little bit different, but this type of post will hopefully become a semi-regular thing. I'm cross-posting with Sara-Liz. She is one of my favorite people; she stood up with me at my wedding. More relevant to the science part of this blog, she is a special education teacher with both personal and professional experience in learning disabilities. She has a masters degree from Clemson in Special Education and is currently pursuing a second masters degree in Educational Administration and Leadership. This background gives her unique insight on child development, teacher practices, and special education from the education policy and teacher interaction with kiddos perspective.

There's no news article associated with today's post; I found this research by serendipity. I was looking for the article I reviewed last week and while searching Google scholar this one came up. It looked like an interesting and potentially important bit of research as I know many families struggling with ADHD (either in the kids or the adults). I also knew that this would be a great article to seek input from Sara-Liz about. Sara-Liz's content and comments are in purple; mine are in black.
