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!)
Attention to task is improved when the student with ADHD is engaged in teacher-directed as opposed to independent seat-work activities. Also, the teaching of note-taking strategies increases the benefits of direct instruction. Both comprehension and on-task behavior improve with the development of these skills.
I found this online for you

Since many children with ADHD have other learning disabilities that tend to be masked by their zany behavior, I would recommend having the boy tested. Maybe part of the reason he is out of control is because the work is too difficult for him (or, alternatively, too easy.)
Give him Playdough or silly putty to play with while you are giving instructions, reading out loud, etc. Or, let him draw or color. This may sound like letting him off the hook, but I have found that many AD/HD people focus better and absorb more of what they hear when they have something to do.
Get the whole class up and moving now and then. I like to have a two minute stretch in the middle of every period. Or, you can use games such as Around the World to practice math facts and get the kids moving at the same time.
Expect him to wiggle. He can't sit completely still, and even if he could, he would be concentrating so hard on doing that that all instructions would go out the window. If other students are distracted by him, put him in the back of the room so he can get up, lean against the wall, etc. If he gets out of his seat and wanders around the room, make sure it is really interfering with instruction before you make him sit down. I have a student who moves to a different chair about every fifteen minutes, but the others have gotten used to this and he gets his work done, and that's what really counts. |

| Comments: This solution is the most useful because it provides an outside resource and suggestions that one could implement in their classroom to benefit everyone. Being still for long periods of time will certainly have a negative effect on the entire class, therefore moving around and stretching is a great method to use. |

| Comments: Nice solution. These strategies give the student the chance to move around instead of just sitting at his desk. |

| Comments: I really like how they do not state this to one student, but as a whole. I also think of ADHD as the hyperactive type so keeping them active in something will help them relax in the classroom and get their work done. |

| Comments: Thank you for posting the link. I like the idea of them having something to occupy their hands. If he has ADHD he may have an IEP in place, where solutions for the student could be referenced. The games do seem beneficial for all students. |
