Description
When teachers connect with students and appreciate their unique skills and interests, students are more likely to strive for achievement and positively respond to classroom rules and procedures.
Extra Books: Provide the student with an extra set of books or electronic
versions of books for use at home. This eliminates the student having to
remember to bring books back and forth.
Use of Calendars: Teach the student to use a calendar for scheduling
assignments. Tape a schedule of planned daily activities to the student’s desk to
help with time management and transitions.
The degree to which attention impacts a student’s academic and social performance is related to the interactions between the student’s academic and behavioral needs and the environmental
demands.
Therefore, it is not unusual for the student to perform differently across settings.
For example, a student with ADHD may experience academic success in elementary school;
however, when he enters middle school, the increased academic and organizational demands
may increase his need for additional academic and behavioral supports.
