  Case: Students with ADHD
What are some classroom management strategies that can be used for students with ADHD? How should you deal with students who have outbursts in the classroom and are distracting other students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If a child in the classroom has ADHD, maybe you could find out if the child has been on medication in the past? A lot of times, the child was on medication, but the parent does not believe they need it or does not like how their child acts on the medication. If the medication is not going to solve or rather, diffuse, the issue, the next step would be to see if there are specific things that make this child act out to get a better idea of the situation.

Comments: ADHD is not a case of a student "acting out". Asking the parents of the child about medication is also not advised. A parent conference to discuss the child's needs would be appropriate. The teacher needs to be aware of ADHD and the many accommodations that are available for these students such as shorter lessons, opportunities to get up, and more frequent breaks.
