SCHOOLS FOR ADHD CHILD

Education for ADHD children might be an issue for parents because of their disturbing behaviors. Many debate that schooling for ADHD children should be different from ordinary children or they should be taught in special schools for children with ADHD.

Contrary to that, I believe that any school can be the best school for ADHD. School life for ADHD children can be demanding and at times devastating, but it’s the duty of elders to accommodate ADHD children in the mainstream.

There re advantages and disadvantages of everything in life. And here’s my point of view regarding schooling of ADHD children in normal schools.

ADVANTAGES:

First of all, the number of students suffering from ADHD is not sufficient to start an individual school. Even if there are some schools, not everyone from all over the world has opportunity to avail them, so why not focus on normal schools and accommodate few students.

Apart from the statistical values, there are more benefits of these schools.

A child, who is suffering from ADHD when being educated with normal children, might have difficulties. We don’t want him to be a topper nor a failure.

We want him to be an above average student with his capabilities. A normal environment will give him more chances to improve.

In an average class of 25-30 students, only one student may have ADHD. So for a teacher it is convenient to give one student extra time rather than a whole class of ADHD students.

Moreover the ADHD student will have a will to be like others, and he can be if given proper opportunity. Studies have shown that ADHD children who studied in normal schools developed psychomotor skills faster than those who studied with other special children, may it be the sense of competition or the will to be like them.

DISADVANTAGES:

Problems arise when the teachers and co students do not cooperate with the ADHD child. When studying in a normal school, there’s a possibility that teachers are not educated enough to teach an ADHD child or they don’t have nerves for that.

Teachers might scold or scream at child. Can beat him in extreme cases. Accuse him, confront his lies and excuses. And this all adds up in making the situation worse than before.

Things get even worse when the students don’t cooperate with ADHD child. They make fun, bully him and can even put him into situations where he gets quarrelsome, abusive and cantankerous.
