Corrective Feedback: Some students with ADHD require brief, simple
correction for disruptive behaviors. Correction should be directed at the student’s behavior, not the student (e.g., “No shout-outs. Please raise your hand before answering the question” vs. “stop being disruptive!”). Provide the feedback immediately following the behavior. Provide correction in a calm manner and in close proximity to the student (Piffner, 2011). Avoid humiliating the student
when correcting his behavior.
