Adhd Toolbox

ADHD is a common condition in children characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. To be diagnosed, symptoms must be present for over 6 months and to a greater degree than other children. Children with ADHD may exhibit low school achievement, difficulties with social skills and relationships, regulating activity level and behavior, focusing attention, and concentration. Effective teaching strategies include developing a plan for success, using engaging instructional methods, modifying lesson delivery, providing frequent feedback, and teaching self-regulation strategies.
