TEACHING APROACHES WITH ADHD
CHILDREN
· The
child should be seated near the teacher so that the teacher can easily give
individual attention to the child
· The
child should be seated away from distractions
· Tasks should be broken down into small
steps-it is easier to concentrate on a small task than a large one.
(Summarized from the DSM)
