  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!)
I agree with the first post, and would add that you could give the student a choice of a couple of seats in the back that he can move to. If he feels a dire need to get out of his seat and move around, at least he or she is out of sight of the other students and within a controlled area. It also works very well to come up with a reward system, which is what I have done with one of my ADHD students this semester. He is one of the students in my middle school SVE class, and loves to play on the PBS website on the computer. He has a sticker chart that he has to fill before he can earn computer time, and it seems to be a great motivator. All I have to do is point to the chart and he is reminded to get it under control. Positive reinforcements are the best strategy!

Comments: I like the idea of the child having a place to go if he/she needs to. This not only benefits the student but the class as well because it cuts down on distractions.
