5. This is ADHD…
You promised you’d be there on time. You even set a departure time
reminder. But when the alarm sounds, you tell yourself, “I just need two
more minutes on this.” Time somehow slips by, and you’re not sure how,
but you end up an hour late.
The sink is overflowing with dishes. You know you need to wash them,
but the thought alone is overwhelming. Another day goes by, dishes
piling higher.
You remember you have a bill to pay. You try to sign in to your account,
but you’ve forgotten your password. While you wait for the password
reset email, you get sidetracked. Before you know it, that initial bill is
forgotten.
This is ADHD – or, more accurately, executive dysfunction – in action.

“ADHD is not a behavior disorder. ADHD is not a mental illness. ADHD
is not a specific learning disability. ADHD is, instead, a developmental
impairment of the brain’s self-management system.” And while it is
among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in
childhood, with 1 in 10 children between the age of 5 and 17
receiving an ADHD diagnosis, it is also not a phase or condition a
child can grow out of.

12. What is ADHD?
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder
that affects both children and adults, though symptoms often manifest in childhood
and can persist into adulthood. ADHD is characterized by persistent patterns of
inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning
and development.

ADHD must be present.
Types of ADHD:

Predominantly
Inattentive
(formerly known as ADD)
● Characterized by
significant difficulties
with sustained attention
and organization
● Inattentive ADHD is more
commonly diagnosed in
girls than in boys and can
present as “spacey,
apathetic behavior.”
● National Institute of
Mental Health says this
type of ADHD is less likely
to be identified and to
receive treatment.
● Marked by hyperactivity
and impulsivity without
prominent inattention.
● Need for constant
movement: fidgeting,
getting out of seat,
being unable to sit still,
interrupting others,
running around, etc…

● “Gamify” tasks if possible
● Allow for partner competition (how fast can you
finish with most correct?)
The ADHD brain loves a challenge, but only in a “FELT-SAFE”
environment. Most people with ADHD greatly enjoy the feeling
of accomplishment that comes from completing a difficult task
or testing their skills, but ONLY if the feeling comes w/o
shame.
Novelty
● Use different writing utensil
● Complete task in new order
● Change location
Students often feel a sense of renewed
energy or tolerance for non-preferred tasks
when there is some novelty introduced.
Urgency
● Set arbitrary deadlines or chunk the task.
● Set a schedule (1st - Then)
The difference here is that when faced with urgency, many
neurotypicals feel stressed in a way that makes it difficult to
be productive or complete tasks. On the other hand,
people with ADHD are often fueled by urgency, even going
into periods of hyperfocus, where they can disregard all
distractions and be fully “zoned in”.

18. The dopamine theory of ADHD claims that inadequate dopamine
decreases motivation and focus and affects learning and
memory. It also reduces the reward that people with ADHD
experience from completing tasks. 02
The Search for…
19. Executive Function
(AKA - CEO of the brain)
Broadly speaking, executive functioning refers to the cognitive and mental abilities that help people engage in
goal-directed action. They direct actions, control behavior, and motivate us to achieve our goals and prepare for future
events. People with executive dysfunction struggle to organize and regulate their behavior in ways that will help them
accomplish long-term goals.
7 Major Types of self-regulation associated with Executive Functioning:
● Emotional: using words and images
along with self-awareness to alter how
you feel about things
● Self-Motivation: motivating yourself
to do things when no outside
consequences exist
● Planning and Problem Solving:
finding new approaches and solutions
● Self-Awareness: commanding
self-directed attention
● Self-Restraint: inhibiting yourself
● Non-Verbal Working Memory:
holding things in your mind to guide
behavior
● Verbal Working Memory: retaining
internal speech

25. Rejection Sensitivity
Dysphoria
DEFINED:
Rejection sensitive dysphoria
(RSD) is extreme emotional
sensitivity and pain triggered by
the perception that a person has
been rejected or criticized by
important people in their life. It
may also be triggered by a sense
of falling short—failing to meet
their own high standards or
others’ expectations.
MORE ON RSD:
● Not a formal diagnosis, but rather one of the
most common and disruptive manifestations of
emotional dysregulation
● Not thought to be caused by trauma
● Dysphoria is the Greek word meaning
unbearable; its use emphasizes the severe
physical and emotional pain suffered by people
with RSD when they encounter real or
perceived rejection, criticism, or teasing.
● ⅓ of adult patients with ADHD report that RSD
was the most impairing aspect of their personal
experience of ADHD, in part because they never
found any effective ways to manage or cope
with the pain.
03
26. What Triggers Rejection
Sensitivity Dysphoria?
● Rejection (the real or perceived withdrawal of love, approval, or
respect)
● Teasing
● Criticism, no matter how constructive
● Persistent self-criticism or negative self-talk prompted by a real
or perceived failure
03
27. How Rejection
Sensitivity Dysphoria is
coped with?
● They become people pleasers. They scan every person they meet to figure out what that
person admires and praises. Then they present that false self to others. Often this becomes such a
dominating goal that they forget what they actually wanted from their own lives. They are too busy
making sure other people aren’t displeased with them.
● They stop trying. If there is the slightest possibility that a person might try something new and
fail or fall short in front of anyone else, it becomes too painful or too risky to make the effort. These
bright, capable people avoid any activities that are anxiety-provoking and end up giving up things
like dating, applying for jobs, or speaking up in public (both socially and professionally).
● Some people use the pain of RSD to find adaptations and overachieve.
They constantly work to be the best at what they do and strive for idealized perfection. Sometimes
they are driven to be above reproach. They lead admirable lives, but at what cost? 03
28. Because the neurodiverse have a lack of
proficiency in the skills required to thrive in a
neurotypical environment, these things occur…
● Students with ADHD do not fit in the standard school system, which
is built on repeating what someone else thinks is important and
relevant.
● People with ADHD are disorganized, because just about every
organizational system out there is built on 2 things -- prioritization
and time management-- that ADDers do not do well.
● People with ADHD have a hard time choosing between
options/alternatives, because everything has the same lack of
importance. To them, all of the alternatives look the same.
03
29. “Punishment will not grow
more white matter or
improve attention.”
So we must TEACH compensatory skills for coping with the
challenge.
32. ● Humor / Playful
● Explicitly define what you mean by a task being “done,”
not just completing as much as they intend to.
● Constantly encourage them to keep going as soon as
you catch them doing the “right” thing
● When change is necessary, roll with the punches - it’s
okay to change your plans
● Reduce demands on working memory by providing
written instructions.
○ Use task checklists - have the student check off
the task as they complete it.
● Teaching Self-awareness of physical traits when
becoming dysregulated.
STRATEGIES to USE…
04
33. ● Pre-made response cards
● Picture desk cards/Silent Q’s
● Write-on response tools
● Full class games
● Zen Zone or Calm Zone
● Catch them being “GOOD”
● Reduce the # of problems or tasks to complete on an
assignment - allow student to show mastery of concept
● Behavior contracts

● Teach self-monitoring
STRATEGIES to USE…
04
34. ● Gamify your activities / assignments
● Have kids run in place or be active for a
minute
● Have two work stations so that kids can get
up and move between assignments
● Let kids use fidget toys
● Give kids graphic organizers (like key steps
to write an essay)
● Computer if handwriting is messy or
difficult
● Timer, like Time Timer
● Speech to text if necessary for longer
assignments
● Use Novelty in instructions and directions
● Maintain a schedule/routine
● Behavioral Momentum
STRATEGIES to USE…
04
● Prepare students for transitions and
provide support through transitions
● EMPHASIZE time limits
● Provide rewards consistently and often
● Be Brief & Clear!
● Arrange the environment to facilitate
attention
● Provide OPTIMAL stimulation
● Buddy Checks - teaching self-awareness
also
● Stand and Deliver (working
standing/moving)

37. When educators lack an
understanding of ADHD,
students are more likely to hear
statements like these at some
point in their educational career:
“You’re not trying hard enough.”
“You have so much potential; if
only you would apply yourself.”
“You need to learn to control
yourself.”
These unhelpful comments and
harsh punishments tear down a
child’s self-esteem while offering
no strategies for improvement;
they are counterproductive at
best and cruel at worst.
40. Don’t Do This:
Withhold recess. Research has
shown that punishing a child by
denying their participation in
something appealing (and physically
exhausting) is counterproductive.
Students with ADHD need to be
active to release excess energy and
refresh their brains.
05
Do This:
Talk privately with the student:
“I’m so proud that you almost
always know the answer to my
questions, but I want to give
everyone else in class a chance
to answer. You can help me by
always raising your hand and
waiting until I call on you. If
you’re worried that you’re going
to forget the answer, write it
down.”
A student blurts out in
class.
42. Do This:
Talk privately with the student.
Review the class rules. Remind
them that they need to do their
classwork and talk less.
● Send the student an
agreed-upon signal as a
reminder to stop talking
● While lecturing, walk toward
and stand near the student.
● Set up a point system with
“OOPS Cards,”
○ Similar to Redo strategy,
but gamified.
Don’t Do This:
Speak sarcastically to the student
in front of the class or isolate them
by having them stand in the hall or
sit far away from peers.
A student talks continuously and
doesn’t complete classwork.
05
44. Don’t Do This:
Tell them to sit down and be still.
Students with ADHD often learn
better while moving their bodies.
Do This:
Place the student’s desk at the end
of a row so they can fidget or move
around without disturbing
classmates.
● Build movement activities into
schedule as often as needed.
● Assign a fidgety student 2
seats; one could be a standup
desk and the other for
collaborative activities.
A student doesn’t stay seated
during classroom instruction.
05
46. Do This:
FIRST- check yourself! Don’t take
things personal. You are the adult
in the situation. Then…
If irritability is unusual for this
student, talk with them privately
and ask questions, such as, “This is
unlike you. What’s wrong?” If the
oppositional behavior occurs
frequently, bring this student up in
SST’s - Undiagnosed learning
problems may be contributing to
the defiance in the classroom.
Don’t Do This:
Send the student to the principal’s
office or yell at them in front of
classmates, especially. By
continually criticizing a student in
front of others, the teacher may
unintentionally set up that student
for bullying behaviors among their
classmates.
05
A student is argumentative
with a teacher.
47. A child frequently falls
asleep in class. Their work
is incomplete, and their
grades drop.
05
48. Don’t Do This:
● Send the student to the
principal’s office or
Counselor’s office.
● Spray them with water to
wake them up or do
anything to scare them
awake.
05
Do This:
● Make a referral with the
counselor to check in with
student - concerned.
● Try the 2 x 10 strategy
● Discuss with family a possible
concern with the student
getting restful sleep, possibly
due to breathing issues.
