Recommendations for schools regarding children with ADD/ADHD
- Whenever possible, special needs children will do better within regular classrooms
- Putting more adults in a classroom (ie. EA’s, volunteers, etc.) is good for all children, but especially those who need more immediate feedback and attention.
- Traditionally arranged classroom furniture can provide more structure than the “open” concept.
- Establish, destigmatize and encourage the use of quiet spaces in the classroom
- Standards must be tailored to individual children’s capabilities
- ADHD/ADD children generally do better with a “single teacher” routine rather than “rotary”
