The start of a new school year is usually met with excitement and apprehension by students with attention deficit disorder and their parents. It’s invigorating to get a fresh start, but there’s the nagging worry that last year’s struggles will be back this time around. As a learning specialist I have discovered a powerful and flexible strategy — preview/review — that will help parents and students avoiding getting into last year’s school ruts.
Previewing always begins with reflection. Enlist your child’s help and make a list of last year’s difficulties that could be problematic this year. Even if you’re not sure which specific challenges he’ll face, you can make guesses. The weekly book reports that gave your child fits last year may not be part of his new classroom routine, but it’s a safe bet that he’ll be expected to complete and submit regular.
Build in concrete reminders. Attach a keychain with a checkmark on it to the zipper of your child’s backpack. When he zips up his bag to go home, this will remind him to “check” inside for his materials. Or work to forge an association in your child’s mind between the end-of-day bell and a backpack check. Make a game of it at home by imitating the sound of the school bell at unexpected times during the day; your child will be expected to call out, “Time to check my backpack!”.
