The only thing that I disagree with as somebody who has ADHD as an adult who lived through it as a child is that people with ADHD have a lack of serotonin so stimulus is incredibly important fidget toys are wonderful for offering stimulus but taking stimulation away like setting somebody in a corner or something like that or away from people can actually be worse

I intensely agree with this. We're not destructible because we're over stim.ed. Completely the opposite. Sure, help them stay on task with the occasional prompt or get them to repeat something like a content point back to you. But pushing a kid up the back of the class bc they are distractable. That's just punishment for something they have no control over and are probably trying harder than anyone else in the room. As a prior kid who had "so much potential but they don't try", this intensely hurts.

As someone with ADHD, who's also a beginning teacher I agree! I believe the teacher should ask the child one-on-one whether they'd prefer to sit in the front or at the back of the class. I always prefer sitting in the front, It's a great way to help me stay engaged with the lesson. Some children really get overstimulated easily and get distracted by peers, so they might like to work alone at the back to get the concentration they need. This is not necessarily the case for children with ADHD, but it might be the case for children with autism for example. So ask the child what their needs are!

As a college student with ADHD I always prefer to take my exams in a room by myself and I always sit in the back of the classroom.

Fidget toys can actually distract those with ADHD!

Wow, this was excellent. As a teacher who deals with this, I was already doing some of these things, but others I've neglected. Excellent points all around!

Hello are there can we talk please

Thanks to you too

I wish I had the ability to teach like you.

When I was at school in early 70s … I was branded a naughty boy particularly when distracted by another child’s naughty behaviour, I would follow their example then get caught. Getting paraded at assembly by the head, being shaken in front of the whole school and called a stupid article … in my last year of primary school my teacher ripped me a new one for losing a blank exercise book that she had given to me. She said if I didn’t find it I would be in serious trouble. I searched and searched for that book over a weekend. In the Monday she refused to give me a new book still, called me out in the classroom … the next day I couldn’t face school so ended up playing truant for 3 weeks eventually getting caught out when someone saw me. The book turned up a few weeks later, it had fallen down between 2 boxes in my toy cupboard at home. My teacher continued to berate me and even brought up the fact that I had missed a week in September. This was because my mother had died a few months earlier and my dad had jo8ned a,single parent charity called the Gingerbreads who,provided holidays for children with single parents. My Dad got us all away . It had to be during term time as this was the only time the charity could afford the reduced rates of the holiday Camp that we went to. My teacher made a comment as she shouted at me, ‘we were all working hard whilst you were on your holiday ‘ … what was interesting that the school was one of these brand new open plan all mod cons 1969 development white new trials of learning styles… my teacher was fairly young too… goodness knows what they taught her un teacher training.

you know...these are the typical and correct responses, and nothing wrong with it,...but adhd should not be thought of as 'an issue'. the kids are just bored of the crap in the curriculum. Kids with adhd -and adults as well- can focus and achieve amazing results...but they need to be engaged!

When I was in second grade I was prescribed Vyvanse witch by the way is comparable to meth but anyway, my teacher was saying I was never able to sit still and I was always zoned out and I remember I would just be talking to myself asking what I was going to eat when I got home or when the class would be over so I could stand up. I always wished I was allowed to stand I don't know why. Anyway then when I was put on Vyvanse she called my mom to say I would not stop organizing my crayon box and my desk lol. She also hated my meds because my mouth would get so dry that water didn't even help so I always had to have gum so my lips and mouth wouldn't dry out I think she just wanted me to behave like all the other kids but it kinda backfired I could always tell that my quirks bothered her and she would always get mad but I had a scary mom so I knew I could just tell my mom if she ever got to mean and I knew she had no reason to dislike me that was in my control as a 7-year old so I started to do whatever little thought came to my mind instead of trying to hold it back and I made her even madder at me on purpose. I still have no regrets to this day! I also had amazing teachers who did stuff like this for me and helped me and didn't get annoyed at the things that are just the way I conduced myself then and to this day

I would not suggest tablets or computers until middle school… allow them extra time to get used to doing new tasks when they’re younger - let them know that everyone else is struggling to learn and some struggle more in different subjects/tasks. It’s ok to struggle. time blocks are to get as much work done but it doesn’t need to be finished (they will finish when the pressure is off)

Some of this may work, but there is no more front of class or back of class in kinder or elementary. Teachers move constantly n teacher desks are often in the corner out of the way. I may try to find a space in class, but it’s very limited. I like the idea of maybe recording them during reading. It could be a motivator. Time tables n this first/ then this doesn’t work. I’ll try others. I do know putting my arm on his shoulder helps him be calm n feel important.

Hi Mari - thanks so much for your thoughts - we appreciate it and glad you found lots (if not all) helpful.

Thks mam ... I have a student, who is suffering from attention deficit, infact i used to change his place and more attentions but still THERE are alot of things missing.!!!! I need any strong solution for him,as i dont want him in this situation

Seeking some suggestions My sons school has started to remove him from class earlier than the other children and sends him to the office before the home bell. The school has mentioned that he acts out occasionally towards the end of the day. My sons feels excluded and doesn’t understand why this is happening. Could you recommend a better plan for end of day that can still make my some comfortable He is 9 years old

Fidget toys almost got banded in my school. Especially when some started getting colors which then distracted other students.

ADD is an outdated term for ADHD it’s not ADD anymore only ADHD

My college speech class professor ignored my plea to accept my final project, which was a video presentation about ADHD to increase awareness. I sent it 5 minutes before the deadline, but it was completed 5 minutes after the deadline (10 minutes to upload 1.2 gigabytes of stuff). Have I been wronged? Is it discrimination or she is just too strict? She also told me, "Let's just accept the fact that it's not a good project." I consulted with others for critiques, and they told me that I don't deserve a 10% grade on my final project. It was at least 70-80% or a B grade. I will contact my school for an investigation.

I did assign him for movement, but he is blanked out…

It's alot to expect from the schools. These kids have psychological issues and we're expecting unqualified educators to handle it. Whatever you do do not drug your child, especially if they have a learning issue. Drugs do not solve learning challenges, they just turn the kid into an anorexic zombie. In my experience it got better at about 8. At 11 it's about discipline. But learning and psych disabilities are separate issues.

Its a bit challenging for class that is big but they can always try. Alternatively, try shadow teaching that is if the school allows.It helps in ensuring that your child doesn't miss out on alot also gets to understand things at there level.
