Common School Performance Difficulties in Students with
AD/HD
• Poor organization, time management, study skills
• Minimal/inconsistent production & output (both in-class assignments & homework)
• Some academic weaknesses – particularly in written language/writing skills
Page 1
![Page 10: Reaching & Teaching Children with AD/HD](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081513/568143f8550346895db08838/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Common School Performance Difficulties in Students with
AD/HD
• Forgetfulness/memory-related issues
• Difficulty following rules
• Behavioral & social difficulties affecting interpersonal relationships
• Unable to sustain effort for long-term goals (need short term goals/rewards)
Page 1
![Page 11: Reaching & Teaching Children with AD/HD](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081513/568143f8550346895db08838/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Things to Keep in Mind About AD/HD
• Disorder in performance, output, and production
• Approximately 30% developmental delay (in self-control, inhibition and executive functions)
Page 1
![Page 12: Reaching & Teaching Children with AD/HD](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081513/568143f8550346895db08838/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Common Misinterpretations of Behavior
• Doesn’t work independently (lazy/apathetic)– chronic memory problems, lacks
prerequisite skills, difficulty blocking internal/external distraction
• Doesn’t follow directions (noncompliance)– difficulty with recall/memory of verbal
directions & translating into action, switching gears, interrupting what they’re doing
Page 1
![Page 13: Reaching & Teaching Children with AD/HD](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081513/568143f8550346895db08838/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Common Misinterpretations of Behavior
• Repeatedly making the same mistakes (willful, deliberate)– respond too quickly to refer to past
experience
• Not sitting still (can control if tried harder)– neurologically-based need to move, difficulty
regulating motor activity
Page 1

Common Misinterpretations of Behavior
• Poor social skills/judgment (deliberate, poor parenting)
– difficulty noticing/interpreting social cues, inhibiting responses, skill/performance deficit

Why is Writing is Such a Struggle?
Planning & Organization (topic, ideas, sequence, structure of genre)
Memory (working & long term)
Language (logical, coherent, vocabulary usage)
Spelling
Grapho-Motor Skills (physical task)
Editing (revision, proofreading)
Self-Monitoring (make sense? enough detail?)
Speed of Written Output & Production

Some Writing Accommodations
• Pre-Writing and Organizational Supports (e.g., use of graphic organizers, checklist or rubric of required components, talk through ideas first)
• Editing Assistance (teacher/peer, spell-check)• Bypass Strategies (e.g., permission to dictate
portions, print instead of cursive, access to computer/assistive technology)
• Shortened/modified written assignments• Use of scribe, note-taking assistance• Alternatives/Options to Writing Assignments

Math Difficulties Due to Weaknesses in..
Working memory
Long term memory retrieval (steps, rules, vocabulary, processes, math facts)
Attention
Sequencing (multi-step procedures, counting)
Perceptual-motor/Spatial organization
Language (abstract terms, word problems)
Self-monitoring (estimating, pacing)

Academic Interventions for Math Weaknesses
• Allow use of calculator & multiplication chart• Use graph paper to space numbers• Provide immediate correctness feedback• Give clues to the process needed to solve problem• Color-code processing signs• Provide time to let students work with each other
(partners/groups) solving problems, checking and reteaching

Not Fair
• Fairness is giving everyone what they need, not equal treatment.
• Fairness does not mean sameness, it means everyone treated with equal respect & equal opportunity to succeed.
• Accommodations provide = footing; not unfair advantages; based on need.

A Journey of Hope
Over the mountain Little Train pulled.Family & friends pushed on, hoping he would.An obstacle in life…this mountain was school,The side-line cheered on with love as the tool.Harder and harder the Little Train tried.Often he slipped and sometimes he cried,“I can’t, I can’t”…”Oh yes you will!”…Cries of support came from over the hill.

A Journey of Hope
At times on his journey, he became derailed;Totally feeling as though he had failed.“Get back on track, we know you can!”Came the shouts from the side line,Believing in him.
Sure enough, Little Train came through,Accomplishing the goal he set out to do.Knowing that life is meant to be shared, heCouldn’t have made it without those who cared.
