July 14, 2006, Newsletter Issue #30: Ideas on dealing with ADHD in the classroom
Tip of the Week
Expect your ADHD children to wiggle. They canīt sit completely still, and even if they could, they would be concentrating so hard on doing that that all instructions would go out the window. If other students are distracted by them, put them in the back of the room so they can get up, lean against the wall, etc. If they get out of thier seat and wander around the room, make sure it is really interfering with instruction before you make them sit down. I know a student who moves to a different chair about every fifteen minutes, but the others have gotten used to this and he gets his work done, and thatīs what really counts.
