  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!)
On days that the student does not take his medicine, always keep him busy. Give him little tasks to do and make him teacher's helper. It will constantly keep his mind focused. Another option is to bring in sensory toys or add hands-on activities to the lesson. Another fun idea is what I call "One minute brain breaks" where students get up for one minute to shake all of their energy out.
