Abstract

This community service activity aims to (1) increase teachers' knowledge about the behavior of Attention Deficit And Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) children and (2) improve teachers' ability to identify and treat ADHD at SD Negeri 90 Pekanbaru. The achievement of these objectives was carried out through training using the methods of lecture, question and answer, demonstration, and practice. The activity began with a focus group discussion (FGD) which was attended by various parties. After the training activities, monitoring or evaluation was carried out by the activity implementation team to see and assist teachers in completing the task of identifying and handling ADHD in elementary schools. The results showed that the community service program went well and smoothly. This program is able to provide teachers with an understanding of how to improve and identify ADHD behavior and how handling actions are carried out. The suggestions that can be made from the results of this community service program are that elementary school teachers are expected to have motivation and always cultivate a caring attitude towards the environment and student learning needs, especially with students with special needs (PDBK). Practitioners and experts, it is hoped that they can always assist elementary school teachers in activities related to the learning process in inclusive schools.
