  Case: Classroom management for students with ADHD
What are some classroom management strategies for a student who has ADHD that would also benefit the whole class as well?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Each student is going to be different and each case of ADHD is different. Mostly, when I think of students with ADHD I think that they are hyper, they do not like to sit down for a long period of time, and they cannot concentrate for a long period of time. For students like these I would place their desk in the back. That way they can stand at their desk rather than sit down, if they so choose. They will also not be too much of a distraction if they are in the back. After they have been doing something for a while allow them to walk around the room or give them a chance to take a break and use the restroom or get a drink. If the student has a 504 plan you will be able to do more of these things for this student.

Comments: I like this post; however, I would also incorporate some of the options for the entire class. This way the student is not singled out or appeared to have special treatment.

Comments: I like this solution because it allows the student to be able to stand and walk around which helps students with ADHD. However, I am wondering if placing a student with ADHD in the back of the classroom is a good idea. I feel like placing them in the back provides a whole classroom full of things to get distracted by just looking up to the front of the room where you the teacher are.
