Kids with ADHD struggle to stay focused on lectures or any tasks that require sustained mental effort. Remarks such as “Earth to Amy!” or “Why don’t you ever listen?” won't correct this attention deficit. If children could pay better attention, they would.
Keeping kids with ADHD close to the teacher and away from doors or windows will help minimize potential distractions and provide the best stay-focused results.In order to prevent singling out children with ADHD, let everyone try privacy dividers, earphones, or earplugs to block distractions during seat work or tests.Alternate between high- and low-interest activities and when possible, keep lesson periods short or vary the pacing from one lesson to the next.
Use a variety of strategies and teaching techniques to accommodate the multitude of learning styles in the room so all students have the opportunity to approach lessons the way they learn best.Also, give students opportunities to work cooperatively, individually, and with the group.Instead of scolding a student who becomes distracted, redirect him in a way that doesn’t cause embarrassment.
