  • Almost all children have times when their attention or behavior veers out of control. However, for some children, these types of behaviors are more than an occasional problem. Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have behavior problems that are so frequent and severe that they interfere with their ability to function adequately on a daily basis.

  • Legal Requirements for Identification of and Educational Services for Children With ADHD
    Two important federal mandates protect the rights of eligible children with ADHD-the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). The regulations implementing these laws are 34 CFR sections 300 and 104, respectively, which require school districts to provide a "free appropriate public education" to students who meet their eligibility criteria. Although a child with ADHD may not be eligible for services under IDEA, he or she may meet the requirements of Section 504.

  • Signs of Adult ADHD
      Verbal Redirection: Many students with ADHD require frequent redirection.Redirect students using clear, concise, and inconspicuously delivered verbal cuesto remind students of desired behaviors, rather than long explanations. Corrective Feedback: Some students with ADHD require brief, simplecorrection for disruptive behaviors. Correction should be directed at the student’sbehavior, not the student (e.g., “No shout-outs. Please raise your hand beforeanswering the question” vs. “stop being disruptive!”). Provide the feedbackimmediately following the behavior. Provide correction in a calm manner and inclose proximity to the student (Piffner, 2011). Avoid humiliating the studentwhen correcting his behavior. Options for Students: When providing corrective feedback or redirecting thestudent, it is often helpful to provide the student with options. For example, “Sue,you can do the assignment now, during lunch, or after school.”

  • Number of Directions: Give a minimal number of directions or steps at a time. If necessary, have students repeat the directions to the teacher or a peer partner. Form of Directions: Provide written directions or steps, or a visual model of a completed project. Teach students how to refer to these items as reminders of process steps to complete tasks. This strategy is particularly helpful for long-term projects. Written Assignments Many students with ADHD have particular challenges with written work due to finemotor skills difficulties, motor planning issues, and difficulty alternating their attention from a book to their written responses
