Résumé: Their unique observational position in the classroom allows teachers to take on an informal role as disorder-spotter. By means of focus groups in four Flemish elementary schools, this study investigates teachers’ decisiveness in assigning a child’s hyperactivity, impulsivity and/or inattention to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as the underlying cause. Results show that, when teachers talked about specific children who exhibited hyperactivity, impulsivity and/or inattention, they were, more often than not, decisive in their observation that ADHD was or was not the underlying cause of the child’s behaviours. However, several child-related factors caused teachers to be indecisive about whether ADHD was indeed at the base of a specific child’s hyperactivity, impulsivity and/or inattention.
