ADHD Teaching Strategies & Advice for Teachers

For teachers, a student with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) can present many challenges for the classroom dynamic. The inattentive, impulsive and hyperactive nature of children and students with ADHD can be a constant disruption to the flow of a class session and can result in behavioural outbursts.

Understanding ADHD for Preschool Teachers

Preschool teachers may encounter a child that is overly exuberant, constantly on the move and has great difficulty in maintaining focus to a task or play situation. While this may be normal excitement of the learning environment it should settle over time by the routines established. However, it may be that you are the first observers of ADHD symptoms as the child is unable to manage themselves within the structures of your centre as other children do. This is an important time to make sure you have the relevant information about ADHD and resources and strategies to help you and the students in your care.
