ADHD

Some tips to help to support learning for a child with ADHD:

Create a routine / schedule, give a sense of structure
Give clear instructions and time to process
Tell them it is ok to make mistakes
Build lots of movement breaks into the day - don't expect them to sit for long periods, work off their energy before starting to work
Use visual learning - learning by showing
Make sure that any goals set are achievable and they can succeed, then build on them, build their confidence and build on their strengths
focus on 1 thing at a time
Reward good behaviour
Reduce the amount of over stimulation - quiet non distracting areas
Remain calm
Be consistent
Don't give consequences for things that are out of their control
Find other words to use other than no
