that distance learning is a new and confusing to many. We are here to
help. Our website has many resources to create a better learning
experience and keep students on track. Did
you know? According
to CDC, Parents report that only about 1 in 3 children with ADHD receive
behavioral classroom management. Students
advice and tips: 1.
At home school. Find a place in your home were there little to no
distractions(Television, video games, pets), for many this may be their kitchen.
This place should also include a chair to seat and simulate a classroom environment. 2. Audio learning. If your textbook offers an audio
book, listen and read along the recording. Once in class, use headphones
to help block out any distractions. 3. Set a schedule. Set times for homework, study
time, and reading. Stick to the schedule and treat it as school time. 4. Have FUN! Don’t forget to take breaks and
treat your breaks as recess. These breaks will help you release any tension.
For
teachers and parents: 1. Be patient. Students with ADHD already have
difficulty at in an in-class environment. Online is a whole different type
of learning. Understand that students may need extra time for homework,
exams, and projects. DO NOT RUSH THEM! 2. Have a planner. Above is a resource that teaches
parents how to create a planner for your student. This planner includes
all of their assignments, exams, and quizzes. By knowing their future assignments
will allow you to help your students. 3. Website blockers. Block their favorite websites
and website games during class time in order to eliminate any possible distractions. 4. Individual tutoring. Parents consider finding a
tutor for your student, that will meet in-person and/or via zoom. Teachers
consider meeting with students with ADHD for check-ins and extra assistance. |
