RT happyhandstoys: What Every Teacher Should Know About ADHD: A Poster for School via ADDitudeMag ADHD Teachers Parents School Education SPED
This chart needs to be updated with positive language or it will do more harm than good. I read a few of these and immediately felt horrible and had to stop reading. I’m terrified for any child who has a teacher that believes this is all there is to know about their ADHD student.
For example, “serious learning problems” can be “radically different learning requirements.” Or “can’t memorize easily” can become “needs images to memorize.” This chart gives the teachers no ideas, no indication about who they have in their classroom, only what that person lacks. Did a specialist really create this?
