Culture of Collaboration
Number of Directions: Give a minimal number of directions or steps at a time.
If necessary, have students repeat the directions to the teacher or a peer partner.

Form of Directions: Provide written directions or steps, or a visual model of a
completed project. Teach students how to refer to these items as reminders of
process steps to complete tasks. This strategy is particularly helpful for long-term
projects.

Written Assignments
Many students with ADHD have particular challenges with written work due to finemotor
skills difficulties, motor planning issues, and difficulty alternating their attention
from a book to their written responses.

Students with ADHD may also need assistance breaking a larger task or project into smaller, more workable units.
