Ontario schools are failing kids with ADHD

Guest: Katie Daubs, senior writer

As Ontario’s schools struggle with resources and ripple effects of the pandemic, experts say students with diverse needs like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) aren’t getting the help they require. ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children, yet there is no official ministry categorization making it difficult to support in classrooms. As part of the Star’s “The Kids Aren’t All Right” series, senior writer Katie Daubs talked to one high school student about her experience.

This episode was produced by Paolo Marques and Brian Bradley.

The Kids Aren't All Right

If Nelson Mandela was right that there is no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats children, Canada has reason to worry. Our kids are struggling — and no wonder. From education to health care, climate to housing, we are leaving them an inheritance of crisis and anxiety. The Toronto Star looks at how our country is failing a generation, the toll it’s taking on our kids — and how we can turn things around.
