By Maria Roberts


These students need special care. They must get the necessary help for them to enjoy life and succeed. Accommodations for ADHD pupils is in three broad categories namely; instructional, assessment and environmental. All these have subgroups with several activities that contribute to the success of this entire program. Some of them are illustrated by the following paragraphs.

There are those set aside for helping them in socialization. Some of them find it difficult to mingle with their age mates. They are mostly unclear when it comes to the appropriate social behavior. In such a case, teachers have tried setting up social behavior goals with rewards for those who achieve them. Complimenting them from time to time helps boost their self-esteem and so does assigning such students leadership positions.

Organization is a good virtue. They must be taught how to arrange their stuff and take care of belongings. For example, there are those that cannot keep their papers in a good way. They will often misplace papers and books. This can get corrected by buying them binders to hold the papers together. A bag or shelf to store the books and a regular check whether things are in order or not will really be helpful.

Some of the persons may be ill mannered. If a child shows rudeness and disrespect, it is the duty of the guardian or the teachers to correct them. They can do this by setting consequences for any wrong did. It gets difficult to correct some of them and a long term program becomes a necessity. Under such circumstances, the kid is supposed to be under close observation for some period of time. Daily progress is then monitored to ensure that the program is helpful.

Their level of concentration is most of the times low. Any form of disruption will make them lose concentration. This often occurs during learning hours. When it comes to taking notes for example, assistance must be offered. Acknowledging their efforts when they make good notes can be very helpful. Assigning them role models who will guide them is also a good move.

As much as teachers are advised to give assignments. They must be very careful with the kind of tasks they assign them. The work left must be doable. Avoid challenging questions as they will only lower their self-esteem. Deadlines are not supposed to be tight. Enough time to work on the topics assigned has to get provided. This will enable them research adequately and come up with comprehensive feedback.

The classroom setup is a major contribution to distraction. It is wise that these pupils seat at the front near the tutor. This way, they will not strain to read whatever is written on the board. They will also clearly hear what is being taught. Chances of drifting away are therefore minimized. With the teacher keeping a close eye on them, they will try hard to concentrate as they can be asked any question at any time. Seating them next to a good role model is another solution too.

In summary, every person in the society is supposed to try support these kids. This can get done by following the above discussed points. Providing the right learning environment and working towards the success of these students. The list above is not exhaustive and further directions can be obtained from relevant sources. The tips outlined are however very useful.
