This study examines expert perspectives on identifying, evaluating, and monitoring ADHD behaviors in children in the classroom. Eleven clinicians and educators participated in semi-structured interviews. Using open coding, three themes emerged: variability of ADHD behaviors, monitoring ADHD behaviors in context, and opportunities and challenges of wearables for teachers. Guided by Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory, our findings suggest that wearable tools can act as mediators within the child's learning ecosystem, enhancing communication among teachers, clinicians, and caregivers through objective, context-aware data.
