    Here are some suggestions for practices that may be helpful for teachers working with a child with ADHD. A student with ADHD can present unique challenges in the classroom. Inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity can be the source of frustration, but there are ways teachers can help students with ADHD to improve the educational experience and control the symptoms of the disorder.  It is important for teachers to be aware of coexisting conditions such as learning disabilities, as well as reinforcing the importance of classroom and instructional structure. The following are tips for teachers:

    Focus on discrete rewards and consequences for appropriate and inappropriate behavior:
    - Tangible rewards and treats;
    - Movie night for a good week at school;
    - Removal of privileges; and
    Time-out from reinforcing activities: the child is essentially removed from situations that foster inappropriate behavior.

    Set a daily routine and stick to it. Bedtime and preparation for school are much easier if there is a structure already in place.

    A diagnosis of ADHD is multifaceted and includes behavioral, medical, and educational data

    Have tangible reminders:
    - A big clock in the bedroom;
    - Charts for chores;
    - Assignment pad to record homework and a specific folder to put work in upon completion; and
    - Gain the child's attention before speaking to him or her. Have the child repeat back directions for things that are really important.
    Avoid the following:
    - Repeating patterns of inappropriate behavior followed by ineffective punishment;
    - Administering consequences without prior warning or without the child understanding why he or she is receiving them; and
    - Responding inconsistently to inappropriate behaviors.

    The requirements and qualifications for IDEA are more stringent than those of Section 504. IDEA provides funds to state education agencies for the purpose of providing special education and related services to children evaluated in accordance with IDEA and found to have at least one of the 13 specific categories of disabilities, and who thus need special education and related services. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder may be considered under the specific category of "Other Health Impairment" (OHI), if the disability results in limited strength, vitality, or alertness, including a

    Non-text Content (Level A)
    The intent of this Success Criterion is to make information conveyed by non-text content accessible through the use of a text alternative. Text alternatives are a primary way for making information accessible because they can be rendered through any sensory modality (for example, visual, auditory or tactile) to match the needs of the user. Providing text alternatives allows the information to be rendered in a variety of ways by a variety of user agents. For example, people who cannot see a picture can have the text alternative read aloud using synthesized speech. People who cannot hear an audio file can have the text alternative displayed so that they can read it. In the future, text alternatives will also allow information to be more easily translated into sign language or into a simpler form of the same language.

    The intent of this condition is to ensure that additional content which may appear on hover of a target may also be hovered itself. Content which appears on hover can be difficult or impossible to perceive if a user is required to keep their mouse pointer over the trigger. When the added content is large, magnified views may mean that the user needs to scroll or pan to completely view it, which is impossible unless the user is able to move their pointer off the trigger without the additional content disappearing. Another common situation is when large pointers have been selected via platform settings or assistive technology. Here, the pointer can obscure a significant area of the additional content. A technique to view the content fully in both situations is to move the mouse pointer directly from the trigger onto the new content. This capability also offers significant advantages for users who utilize screen reader feedback on mouse interactions. This condition generally implies that the additional content overlaps or is positioned adjacent to the target.

  • 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.
