  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 have had an ADHD student in the past that responded well to checklists. I would give him a checklist for each segment and provide him with exactly what he needed to do step by step. When he was off task I would ask him what step he was on. It helped. Remember it is not his fault and if you are patient and positive with him, he will try his best to stay on task to the best of his ability.

Comments: This solution will allow the ADHD child to see how much they have achieved for the day and how much they need to complete. This allows for them to stay focused on what they need to get done.
