August 4, 2006, Newsletter Issue #32: Use Playdough, Silly Putty for your ADHD Student

Tip of the Week

Dealing with ADHD can be challenging for both the teacher and the student. This recomendation comes from a speacial educational teacher that I know. She also has ADHD. I thought I would pass this one on to help other teachers.

Give them Playdough or silly putty to play with while you are giving instructions, reading out loud, etc. Or, let him draw or color. This may sound like letting them off the hook, but I have found that many ADHD people focus better and absorb more of what they hear when they have something to do.
