ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder.
ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Instead of hundreds of the same problem like in math class, give students ten at a time. This will also help keep their attention and not get bored.
Create a plan if the student becomes violent or out of control. Run through this plan to be prepared.
Be creative in your lessons. Don't let students get bored or they have a tendency to act out.
Once your child is diagnosed with ADD, you need to discuss it with doctors and talk to special education teachers of any techniques you can use. Be patient with your child. Work with them and help them get organized and stay focused. Read information on ADD. Don't jump to medicine use right away. You can also join support group for parents with ADD.
Resist video overkill. Too much TV or videos can make students irritated and have lots of energy. Try to add hands on activities as much as possible.
Remain consistent. Students with ADD and ADHD like consistent teachers when it comes to discipline.q
