| Abstract: | The article focuses on a systematic review that reveals racial disparities in teacher ratings of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms, indicating that teachers often perceive Black and Hispanic students as exhibiting more severe symptoms compared to White students. The review highlights that these ratings may be influenced by implicit biases and the racial backgrounds of both teachers and students, with evidence suggesting that teachers of different racial backgrounds rate students' behaviors differently. The findings underscore the need for culturally responsive assessment practices and professional development for educators to mitigate bias and improve the accuracy of ADHD evaluations in diverse classrooms.
