I chose to write my paper on the misuse and misdiagnosis of cognitive pharmaceutical therapies such as Adderall and Ritalin. Though I found several articles, and sources from research relating to the abuse of the drugs, based on the project constraints I was only able to scratch the surface.

Objective: Although twin and family studies have shown attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to be highly heritable, genetic variants influencing the trait at a genome-wide significant level have yet to be identified. As prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have not yielded significant results, we conducted a meta-analysis of…

Hardcastle, Lisa A.; Zirkel, Perry A. – Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, 2012
School leaders are familiar with the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, but they also need to be legally literate about Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This need is particularly pressing in the wake of significant recent changes in Section 504 as a result of the Americans With Disabilities Amendments Act. This case illustrates the…
