Anglada, Tracy. The Student With Bipolar Disorder: An Educator’s Guide. Available from: http://www.bipolar-children.bigstep.com/generic25.html. With few, but amazingly apt words, this brochure paints a big picture of what bipolar disorder is and how the symptoms--as well as how the side effects of the medications--affect the student in the classroom. TeachingLD.Org - The new web site for the Division of Learning Disabilities for the Council of Teaching Exceptional Children, this should be a great resource for teachers who are working with children with bipolar disorder. Not only are there general discussion bulletin boards, but the site features information on research-based teaching strategies and approaches and interviews with experts in all aspects of learning disabilities. Particularly helpful to teachers with questions about the best way to work with children with bipolar disorder is the “Find a Colleague” section in which a teacher can build a profile and search a database in order to find other teachers and mentors who are dealing with a child of the same age with the disorder and then share knowledge of what has been effective. http://www.teachingLD.org
