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.
