How to Better Teach Children with ADHD By: David Gabriel
What is ADHD? Attention Deficit/ hyperactivity disorder  Children who have this disorder have difficulty following directions, completing schoolwork, getting along with other children, obeying classroom rules, and sitting still (Smucker & Hedayat, 2001).
What Teaching Techniques Do Teachers Use? Filling a child with feelings of success can help them gain confidence and self-esteem (Hogan, 1997).  High levels of self-esteem will lead to better overall learning habits over time By giving undivided attention and love towards these children will boost self-esteem (Hogan, 1997).
Making Friends Having a one-on-one relationship with the student will not only boost their self-esteem, but create a solid base for the student to feel comfortable in the classroom environment (Hogan, 1997).  Having rewards for ADHD students will motivate them to reach their set goals (Maria, Caeran, & Cornoldi).
Understand The Symptoms As an instructor, one must understand the effects of ADHD.  Allowing time during the class for ADHD students to stretch and release energy will prove itself worthy in gaining attention from the student later on (Hogan, 1997).
How Do I Keep Their Attention? Research shows that making eye contact, speaking clearly, and providing clear directions will help prolong the attention span (Hogan, 1997).  Understanding what the student finds interesting, and tailoring the lesson plan towards them will benefit the student and keep them interested through out the day (Hogan, 1997).
How Can Homework Help? Evidence shows the importance and effectiveness homework interventions can have for students with ADHD (Jason, Sheridan, Olympia, & Andrews, 1994) . By students engaging and learning study habits will further extend their skills in time management and self-discipline (Jason, Sheridan, Olympia, & Andrews, 1994).

  • 1. How to Better Teach Children with ADHD By: David Gabriel
  • 2. What is ADHD? Attention Deficit/ hyperactivity disorder Children who have this disorder have difficulty following directions, completing schoolwork, getting along with other children, obeying classroom rules, and sitting still (Smucker & Hedayat, 2001).

Editor's Notes

  1. According to a 2007 study, approximately 9.5% or 5.4 million children between the ages of 4 and 17 have ever been diagnosed with ADHD (www.cdc.gov). Between the year 2003 and 2007 the percentage of children with ADHD increased by 22% (www.cdc.gov.). 

  2. Boosting self esteem can truly engage a student. When someone knows that they are cared for, they are much more responsive and participative.
  3. When a child knows that a teacher cares for them they are more apt to consider the instructions, than if not. Personally, I find it much easier to deal with my ADHD student on a personal level, rather than a distant “teacher-student” level. Having that one-on-one connection allows for a deeper understanding of the student and where they are coming from.
  4. Research urges teachers to go into a classroom full of knowledge when dealing with ADHD students (Smucker & Hedayat, 2001). If an instructor goes in, not knowing anything, or how to deal with these types of students, they will then be doing themselves and most importantly, the student a disservice.
  5. ADHD students have a very difficult time paying attention. If an instructor makes sure they are getting eye contact from the student, this will ensure they are understanding the directions. Most importantly, ADHD students will not complete an assignment if they find it boring. As a teacher, it is important to get to know your student with ADHD and find out what they like and truly find interesting (Hogan, 1997).
  6. Having homework intervention from a young age will teach ADHD students how to manage their time and get things done. If started young, children will develop the habits and skills that can help them get into college and start a meaningful life (Jason, Sheridan, Olympia, & Andrews, 1994).
