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

ADD/ADHD and Completing Taks

A child with ADD/ADHD needs to think through the consequences of his/her actions (If I do well on this assignment, I get an extra half hour of television tonight. If I do not do well on this assignment, I will have to do extra homework instead of watching television.)

To assist the child, put the steps in pictures, or visual form for the child to check off one by one. For example, items on the check list might be:
Check to see if my name is on the paper
Check my spelling
Check to make sure I answered all the questions.
