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!)
This may take advice from out side resources. The mother has the right not to medicate her child. Although medication would be helpful to the child, the situation is that the child is not on medication. A recommendation to drink water throughout the day rather than an energy drink can be discussed with the mother. As for the child during the day this may take a reward system that is broken down into blocks of time. Such as every fifteen minutes of work that is completed the student will be rewarded using a visual chart of success. A stamp or sticker can be placed on the chart. Once the student has earned three stamps (equivalent to 45 minutes of work), the student will earn a break or activity. |

| Comments: I like the solutions but I feel that the speaker is being judging about medicating the child. It's completely up to the parent and the teacher really doesn't have an opinion in this case. |
