Helping Children through ADHD Classroom Management

School Lessons for Child with ADHDIt’s estimated that at least 5 percent of the U.S. population has attention deficit disorder. Assuming this statistic is true, that would mean every classroom with 30 students has at least one student with ADD/ADHD. To ensure that ADHD children receive the best education, parents should meet with teachers and investigate what teaching methods are being used in the classroom. As a guideline, the U.S. Department of Education has outlined strategies that teachers can use to ensure that ADHD and education are a priority in classroom settings. These U.S. Department of Education strategies say that teachers should:

• … set up a predictable routine. ADHD children are sensitive to change and disruptions in the classroom schedule. These children perform best with minimal choices and minimal rules.

• … not set ADHD children apart or make them feel different from the rest of the group. Sarcasm and criticism should never be used by teachers.

• … set up discreet cues for their ADHD students to help them behave and stay on task. ADHD children also should receive advance notice when they are about to be called upon.

• … use audiovisual tools whenever possible. ADHD children absorb material more efficiently when information is seen, heard, and felt. The classroom should reach as many of the five senses as possible.

• … lower the noise level in the classroom and remind all students periodically to remain quiet so other students are able to concentrate.

• … divide large assignments into smaller assignments. Instead of assigning a big report that takes a month to complete, break it up into several assignments such as research, outline, introduction, body, conclusion, etc. This helps the child manage both ADHD and homework.

Part of sending a child with ADHD to school is advocating his or her rights in the classroom. By meeting with teachers regularly, parents can outline their expectations and help ensure that the child is receiving fair treatment in school.
