    Organizational Supports for ADHD Students
    Many students with ADHD have significant difficulties with organization.

    They are more likely to respond positively when teachers establish class routines and set procedures and maintain a well-organized learning environment.

    Clear rules and advanced planning are keys to success for teachers of students with ADHD.


    The following organizational supports are particularly useful. Students should be taught to use these tools through teacher modeling and guided practice with feedback before being expected to use them more independently.

    Assignment Notebook: Provide the student with an assignment notebook to help
    organize homework and seatwork.

    Color-Coded Folders: Provide the student with color-coded folders to help
    organize assignments for different academic subjects.

    Weather forecasting system
    Weather forecasting systems use a combination of science and technology to make accurate predictions on weather conditions of a particular location at a particular time. Weather forecast systems and applications predict weather conditions based on multiple parameters, such as pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.

    Automated payroll system with GPS tracking and image capture
    This automated payroll system doubles up as a web and Android application – while the user will use the Android interface, the Admin (usually the HR) will use the web interface.
    The application works something like this – each employee is given an employee ID and password for accessing the app from their Android device. When an employee logs into the system from an Android device and immediately, the user image is captured. Then, the system sends the user image and their GPS location to the Admin.

  • School interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of both preventive and intervention strategies. Interventions must be based upon assessment data that includes information about the student’s strengths and needs as well as the environmental conditions in which her characteristics of ADHD occur. Progress monitoring and strategy adjustments are critical to the success of any intervention plan (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010). The first step in creating classroom supports for students with ADHD is understanding the students’ strengths and needs. This involves formal and informal assessment, as well as collaboration among educational professionals and the students’ families. If a student is not responsive to behavioral strategies and interventions, more intensive interventions, such as functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plans, should be considered (see Practical FBA). No one intervention is universally effective for all students with ADHD. A combination of research-based and promising practices is recommended. Here are several of these practices:

  • Quality AS
    Quality assurance can be defined as "part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled." The confidence provided by quality assurance is twofold—internally to management and externally to customers, government agencies, regulators, certifiers, and third parties. An alternate definition is "all the planned and systematic activities implemented within the quality system that can be demonstrated to provide confidence that a product or service will fulfill requirements for quality."

  • Technological advancements
    Technologies. People often ask, what exactly do you mean by “breakthrough”? It’s a reasonable question—some of our picks haven’t yet reached widespread use, while others may be on the cusp of becoming commercially available. What we’re really looking for is a technology, or perhaps even a collection of technologies, that will have a profound effect on our lives. For this year, a new technique in artificial intelligence called GANs is giving machines imagination; artificial embryos, despite some thorny ethical constraints, are redefining how life can be created and are opening a research window into the early moments of a human life; and a pilot plant in the heart of Texas’s petrochemical industry is attempting to create completely clean power from natural gas—probably a major energy source for the foreseeable future. These and the rest of our list will be worth keeping an eye on.
