What can I do to get a child with ADD/ADHD to do their work at school?

ADD/ADHD in the Classroom

To help a child with ADD/ADHD learn to control impulsive and/or hyperactive behavior, provide consistency, structure, and routine (keeping your schedule pretty much the same from day to day even on weekends). Providing a structured environment actually helps the child develop cognitive structures that will help control behavior.

You may be interested in a book that includes strategies for working with children with ADHD. It can be found @ Working with AD/HD: A How to Booklet.
