  Case: ADHD
A student approaches you and tells you that he has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). He can't take the test within the time allotted, can't turn in assignments on time, or can't take notes, etc. He is requesting special consideration. Other students in the class overhear your conversation and start to whisper among themselves. What do you do as a teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would assign those students who overheard our conversation some work to keep them busy. I would also bring awareness to students that people have different disabilities that can be physical, emotional, and or mental.
