How can I help a child with ADD/ADHD in the classroom?

ADD/ADHD and Classroom Assignments

Children with ADD/ADHD often have difficulty keeping up with their peers on classwork and assignments. To help:
1. Allow extra time to complete projects,
2. Shorten assignment to level of child's
attention, and,
3. Modify assignments so child succeeds (less problems, partially done projects.
CAUTION: Be aware of how much less the child is doing than others. Allowing a child to fall too far behind the rest of the children may cause the child to be retained and make the problem worse. Visit ADHD for a more detailed explaination of ADHD.
