Teachers, you have a pupil with ADHD in your class and you wonder what to put in place? Many adjustments are simple, inexpensive and benefit the whole class. Here are the main ones. These simple adjustments can transform the daily life of the pupil and of the class.
Seat the pupil close to you, away from windows, the door and walkways, next to a calm classmate. This seating also allows for discreet reminders.
This point is explained step by step in ADHD and seating in class.
Get their attention before speaking, give one instruction at a time, write it on the board, and ask them to rephrase it. Rephrasing allows you to check that they have understood.
To go further, read our article ADHD and reading instructions.
Break long tasks down into short steps. Give one step at a time. Ticking off completed steps motivates them.
We detail this point in My child never finishes what they start.
The only online directory dedicated to professionals working with Dys disorders
Allow short breaks, tasks that involve moving around, and an object to handle discreetly. These channelled movements reduce restlessness.
This topic is developed on our page ADHD and breaks in class.
Check the diary, provide homework in writing or online, and help them tidy their equipment. These aids reduce forgotten items and tension.
You will find more details in the article ADHD and forgotten homework.
Notice and praise positive behaviour. Use a discreet signal to bring them back to the task rather than a remark in front of the class. These encouragements are more effective than reproaches.
Our article ADHD and punishments at school complements these tips.
Extra time, rephrased instructions, uncluttered papers, tests broken into parts: these adjustments allow their true knowledge to be assessed. These adjustments can be written into the PAP.
