ArticleVenture CapitalCorrective Feedback: Some students with ADHD require brief, simple correction for disruptive behaviors. Correction should be directed at the student’s behavior, not the student (e.g., “No shout-outs. Please raise your hand before answering the question” vs. “stop being disruptive!”). Provide the feedback immediately following the behavior. Provide correction in a calm manner and in close proximity to the student (Piffner, 2011). Avoid humiliating the studentwhen correcting his behavior.

ArticlelinkCombined type. The student may exhibit symptoms that include behaviors from both categories above. In order for a student to be diagnosed with ADHD, symptoms must appear before age 12 and be exhibited across at least two settings. They must also have adverse effects on academic performance, occupational success, or social-emotional development (APA, 2013). To add to the complexity of the diagnosis, children with ADHD are likely to have co-existing emotional, behavioral, developmental, learning, or physical conditions (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010).
