ADHD and School interventionsSchool interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of bothpreventive 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 thestudents’ strengths and needs. This involves formal and informal assessment, as well ascollaboration 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).By: Edwin CastelWednesday, May 12, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY

Current situationUsually the best way to start a conversation is to talk about your current situation. The questions you’ll ask vary greatly on where you are and what you are doing. So for example, if you are waiting for something you might ask how long they’ve been waiting. Or if you are at a show or an event you might ask if they’ve seen the performer or speaker before. If you are traveling somewhere you might ask where the other person is headed. If you are at place that is serving food, talk about the food. If there is music playing, talk about the music.By: Edwin CastelWednesday, May 12, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY+3
