1. Recommendations for School

2. Usually it is best to seat the ADHD child upfront. So move the child to front, near the teacher, with his back to the rest of the students away from the door.
3. Reduce or minimize distractions (both audio and visual). Do not place Child in front of an air conditioner, heater, high traffic areas, doors or windows.
4. Make earphones available to make allow Child to decrease the auditory distractions.
5. Allow cooling off period when Child (or teacher) becomes upset.
6. Use written displayed rules in classroom.
7. Surround him with good role models.
8. Encourage cooperative and collaborative learning, and give the non ADD students praise and reinforcement for helping out.
9. Help Child feel comfortable seeking help. Many of these students won't ask questions for fear of appearing stupid to their peers. They should be brought out and encouraged.
10. Child should be provided a quiet place for lunch if lunch time is a problem.

11. After a recess most of the ADHD children come back wound up, Calming exercises are helpful.
