Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: ADHD Student This year in a class that I co- teach, we have a sweet young man who is extremely ADHD. At the beginning of the year, he was fairly diligent about completing assignments and turning in his work. This second half of the semester he is barely turning anything in. Also I have to constantly redirect his attention more than usual and literally stand over him to help him complete an assignment. The counselors and myself learned that he is no longer on his medication and there is no sight that he will be put back on it due to financial issues. Any suggestion on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I use a sand timer with my ADHD students. I chunk up assignments and tell them what portion they must have finished before the sand runs out. It keeps them focused.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Such a great idea! Keeps them focused on the task at hand. I've always heard to break up the work for them so I'm glad it actually works. Rated On: September 28, 2015 11:31 pm Rated By: eduruM
