Abstract	Hyperactivity and impulsivity, as well as poor attention in its various forms, are encountered much more often in atypical populations, including those with learning disabilities. Many children with disabilities display attentional difficulties or some kind of lethargic, dreamy state. These problems are amenable to treatment by physical educators who are knowledgeable and willing to apply techniques and methods. Strategies useful in this context are the following: (a) relaxation training, (b) impulse-control activities, and (c) cognitive-behavioral strategies. Teachers should be aware of how a variety of conditions and factors contribute to or detract from pupils' attention. Management of the environment, specific techniques, and a teacher's own behaviors, postures, and voice combine to either heighten or reduce hyperactive, impulsive, and faulty attention behaviors in students.
