Answer 2

You should take him to an ADHD specialist to get some in depth testing. I went through extensive testing for years off and on and this disorder can disrupt lives in the world of everyone around your precious child. However, the good news is that most individuals with ADD are intelligent; they need to find their own niche in the world where they can focus and learn not to be impulsive, learn to control themselves, and how to become organized and punctual to name just a few things! However, as a parent you must not take this personally when certain things happen repeatedly... This is where empathy and psychotherapy and ADD training comes into play on your end.   You may email me if you like.i have been reading about this for the last 6 years and I see an ADHD LCSW twice a week for support... The sooner you address this condition, the better... Good luck.

Answer 3

A lot depends on the manifested behaviors associated with the particular students ADHD.  For example with a student who has difficulty staying in his/her seat an intervention strategy would be  making them the paper monitor so that they can get up to pass out or pick up the papers.  Knowing that they will have this opportunity will make it easier for them to stay in their seat while they have to.  For a student who is primarily inattentive seating in the proximity of the teacher and setting up a attention focusing que like a tap on the desk can be helpful.  The hardest behavior associated with ADHD is impulse control.  Here the student needs to be trained to use some intervention on their own...a three step process like a stop light is one I've used...before you act - Red - Stop and think - Yellow - consequences - Do you know what could happen? - Green - Make you informed choice :)

Hope this helps
