Summary
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can significantly impact a student’s ability to learn and succeed in the classroom. Students with ADHD may struggle with sustained attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, leading to difficulties with organization, time management, and self-regulation. To support students with ADHD, teachers can implement strategies such as providing extra time to complete assignments, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and using visual reminders and checklists. Additionally, creating a structured and predictable learning environment, minimizing distractions, and offering frequent breaks can help students with ADHD stay focused and engaged.
