PostComputer Games: Computer games increase opportunities for responding and active engagement and provide immediate feedback about accuracy. In addition, many students with ADHD find computer learning games highly reinforcing. Student-Created Reviews Students can create ways of reviewing previously taught content. For example, they may create questions and answers for a card game such as Go Fish or Concentration. Frequent Redirection: Learning partners can be assigned to help each other stay on task. Transition Buddies: Transition buddies are helpful for students with ADHD who have trouble refocusing their attention as they transition from one academic lesson to the next. Further, verbal or nonverbal teacher cues signaling upcoming transitions help prepare students for changes in activities or lesson. https://education.wm.edu/centers/ttac/documents/packets/adhd.pdfBy: Vijaya Super adminThursday, Sep 5, 2024HEALTH AND NUTRITION

ArticleStudents with ADHDAs a result of the behaviors listed above, students with ADHD are at greater risk of academicdifficulties, social/emotional issues, and limited educational outcomes. The degree to which attention impacts a student’s academic and social performance is related to the interactions between the student’s academic and behavioral needs and the environmentaldemands. Therefore, it is not unusual for the student to perform differently across settings. School 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.

ArticleADHD diagnosis is on the riseADHD is one of the most prevalent psychiatric illnesses of young people in America. A recent study showed that ADHD diagnosis has gone up 43 percent from 2003 to 2011. The study was not designed to look at the underlying reasons for such changes in prevalence, however it could be the result of a tendency to over-diagnose the situation. “There has definitely been an upward trend in diagnosed ADHD cases. If the condition is over-diagnosed and the stimulant to correct the condition is taken casually, then treatment won’t be durable and it could ignore other problems in their environment that are the actual stressors, like: internal worries, home conflicts and learning disorders.” -Cabrera.By: UmeshaTuesday, Aug 20, 2024AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS
