Introduction
Children who have ADHD may have special needs in the classroom; remaining in their seat, working quietly and concentrating, or listening to what the teacher says can be difficult.
However, much of a child’s time is spent in school and it is where key aspects of growth and development takes place, both academically and socially. As the leader of the classroom, a teacher is ideally placed to help recognize and manage ADHD, both for the benefit of the child, but also their peers in the classroom. The information on this part of the site has been brought together from a variety of sources to serve as a resource for teachers to help children with ADHD and their classmates to get the most out of their time at school. These skills learned at school will be beneficial throughout life.
