It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of children
have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United
States.
This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, it is likely
that at least one will have ADHD. In many schools, the teachers
are not being educated about such conditions and presence of ADHD
children, which is not a good sign.
An ADHD child is not an abnormal child or a weak child. He can
be like all other students, by some efforts off course.
Teaching an ADHD child is though difficult, but not impossible
if proper lesson plans for children with ADHD are made. You might
be thinking how do I teach a child with ADHD?
To teach the ADHD child is not a big job, though a little demanding.
There are certain teaching techniques for ADHD children.
Follow these tips and it will be fun teaching ADHD
children in the classrooms.
ADHD TEACHING STRATEGIES:
1. For an ADHD child, Provide as much positive attention and recognition
as possible. Stand close to an inattentive child and touch him or
her on the shoulder as you are teaching.
Walk around the classroom as the lesson is progressing and tap
the place in the child’s book that is currently being read
or discussed.
2. Try giving him a seat close to you. Don’t let the child
sit near the windows or doors, or objects which can easily distract
him.
3. Keep him attentive. Use his name instead of other names in
sentences. Ask him irrelevant questions, apart from study. Ask for
his opinion, time to time. But don’t neglect other students
as well.
4. Don’t give him multiple commands at a time. Let him follow
one and then ask for other. Like never ask him to open page 34,
paragraph 4, line 6 and now find verbs in it.
Instead ask him all this one by one, when he is done with the previous
command then ask him for next.
5. Help him where he’s stuck. Give him hints to answer.
6. Do not confront him, accuse him, abuse him or make him feel
guilty. The better way is to talk to him in personal, in absence
of other students.
7. If he is incapable of writing, take his oral tests.
8. Give him equal opportunity of studying and physical activities.
9. Before every class give him at least ten minutes of break,
in which he can take a tour out.
10. Ask him to explain the answer logically and don’t laugh
on it when he is wrong. Don’t scold him as well.
11. Use his choice of media to teach him.
12. Add pictures, audios and video aids while teaching, this will
keep him attentive.
13. Ask for guest speakers to come. Can be senior students, parents,
siblings or other teachers to say something about the topic.
14. Do reward him for the good he do. And promise for reward if
he will do good in studies. Don’t forget to fulfill that promise.
