  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 would try and help the family work with the school counsler to find out of there are any programs that can help put the student back on the medication. I would also try implementing more non verbal cues with the student. Also check lists on classwork can help as well as tutors or one on one time with the student in oreder to get the work done.
