ADD/ADHD and Peer Help

<font face="Comic Sans MS" font color="000099">An effective strategy for helping a child with ADD/ADHD complete classroom tasks is to assign another student as a monitor/model. The pair can be called "Spelling Buddies" or something like that. It is important, however, that the child with ADD/ADHD not always be the one receiving the extra help. In other words, it is necessary to find a time when the child with ADD/ADHD is the "helping" student instead of the one always receiving the help. This helps foster self-esteem, personal responsibility, and social acceptance.
