Abstract Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder pertaining to the diseases with high incidence but low severity in the pediatric clinics, that causes various functional impairment. One challenge in the pediatric practice is family’s concerns about the medication used to treat ADHD in children or adolescents. We adopt an approach that combines clinical practice with medical education to putting the idea into the action. While stressing the elements of “4W”, we open up the dual channels between medicine and education, establish a medical education system to strengthen school referrals, participation, research and teaching practice through parents training provided by hospitals and partnerships between schools and physicians. This model allows the physician to provide public medical education of ADHA in schools, receive feedback from teachers during the course of diagosis and treatment, while intergrate basic methods of therapy into chlid education. Teachers may help physicians improve the objectivity and accuracy of diagnosis, participate parent training and family counseling. Parents may cooperate closely with treatment plan, improve the quality of family education; meanwhile during active treatment child and adolescent himself may improve his learning, emotion, communication and social adaptability, and overall quality of life.
