ADHD and Distance Learning
Hello students, parents, and
teachers!
Welcome to your one stop resource
shop to improve students with ADHD during this new online approach of
schooling. We understand 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. |
