  Case: ADHD Student
There is a student in my class who has a 504 plan because he has ADHD. This student does not always take his medication, and I can certainly tell due to his behavior. What should I do on the days he does not take his medication?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Conduct a behavior assessment for your student. Try to understand the behavior this find as trouble behavior and decide on your replacement behaviors. This can be for either when the student is or isn't on their medication.

As far as ensuring the student takes their medication, set up a schedule to record what days the student takes their medication and what days the student doesn't. This way perhaps you'll notice a pattern of some kind. Afterwards, contact the parents and talk to them about the troubles this causes in class and any solutions you have thought to help with this. If the parents have to come back to the school to make sure the students has what they need, then try and encourage this.
