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!) A great solution for focusing in the classroom is putting something in his hands while you are instructing the class. An alternative to this would be placing a piece of Velcro underneath his desk so that he can touch it when needed to help him focus. I have seen this done a few times and it seemed to work for other students. Also, I think it important to find out the likes and dislikes of the student. This may help with incorporating those thing into a lesson to hold his attention and not using things he dislikes to hold his attention. |
