Case: ADHD Non-Medicated Student
I have a student in my classroom who has been diagnosed with ADAH. however, his mother does not believe in medicating him. Instead she adjusts his diet at home and I allow him to drink an energy drink halfway through the day to help with his attention. This is not working. He has a very difficult time staying in his seat. He is constantly making noises and disrupting other students. When I put him in the back of the room so other students couldn't see him, he started distracting the class across the hallway. When I speak to his mother, she says there is nothing that she can do. I have had the occupational therapist come in and give me some recommendations on what I can do to help, but that has had little effect. What are some suggestions to help him focus and demonstrate self control?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try to find ways in the curriculum to help the student not feel so antsy by making the material more interactive. There is only so much you can do especially when parent's our not willing to medicate their child. If your still at a lost get the school counselor involved and find ways to help the student focus in the classroom. |

Comments: This is great. This will also benefit other students who will get a hands-on activity. |
