By: Nikole Larsen

 I will most likely deal with many ADHD students in my teaching career.  I personally know people with ADHD.  I want to be able to support all students in my class to the best of my ability.  I read 3 articles, talked to the learning assistance teacher at my practicum school and watched a video from the VIU curriculum lab.

 Neurobiological disability  Characterized by the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities as “Developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.”  A 4:1 ratio of boys to girls have ADHD  Usually can trace a relative with ADHD. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

 Hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattention  Bedwetting, sleep problems, temper tantrums, poor planning, poor test taking, poor organization, messy desk and poor time management.  Often described as bossy, show-offs, defiant and unable to maintain friendships  Prefer gross motor tasks, writing can be frustrating  Often were difficult temperament babies

 Talk to prior teachers, find out medications and diet  Note when students have trouble focusing, time of day and subjects, also when they can focus and have no issues.  Talk to parents, doctors and school psychologist  No simple test to determine if a child has an attention problem  Medications are on a trial basis: stimulants, antidepressants and antihypertensives

 Characteristics do have a positive spin! Not every child will exhibit all Characteristics.  Children are naturally active and learn by sensing stimuli.  View impulsivity as a teaching opportunity, not “bad”  Many students who have ADHD suffer from low self esteem in adolescence.

 Incorporate MOVEMENT in the classroom  Positive peer attention  Frequent teacher monitoring

 Seat the child by positive role models, near teacher’s desk, front row edge, near token chart if applicable, not near distractions (windows, pencil sharpeners)  Parallel row seating still remains the ideal layout for ADHD students.  Provide an additional desk for students.  Set up a quiet area at the back of the room.  Set up fine motor centers around the room.

 Be sensitive to decorating work and walls  Use equipment that allows you to watch student while teaching  Set up a listening center * Noise can be detrimental during complex or new tasks and can be beneficial during repetitive or familiar tasks.  Set up individual student mail boxes  Have students keep only two pencils in desk, supplies should be kept in colour coded bins. *Provides movement during transitions

 Provide clear directions  Plan frequent breaks  Post daily schedules and assignments

 Cognitive-behaviour therapy, self assessment and metacognition does not work  Timeouts-criticized for being psychologically damaging, can be misinterpreted as a reinforcement  Positive reinforcement is encouraged!  ADHD children respond better to secondary reinforcers.  A mix of positive reinforcement and response cost programs appear most effective.

 What will be rewarded, how much and when.  What behaviours will the teacher remove tokens for, how many and when.  Ensure that the reinforcer outweighs the fine!  Visual token chart, all students take part.

 Give them small chunks of work.  Turn off lights and read with a flashlight.  Put different colour paper on desk.  Cut a whole out of a sheet to focus on one question at a time.  Let them have a fidget with rules, gum?  Use highlighters.  Get them moving!!!

MAKE THE PULL OF THE TASK STRONGER THAN ANY DISTRACTOR IN THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT!!!

 Think in your heads for a minute and picture your practicum class.  Which strategies that I have presented today would you try in your practicum classroom?  Which strategies are already present?  Do you have any additional strategies you would like to share that have not been presented here?
