The very tasks these students find the most difficult\u2014sitting still, listening quietly, concentrating\u2014are the ones they are required to do all day long. Perhaps most frustrating of all is that most of these children\u00a0want\u00a0to be able to learn and behave like their unaffected peers. Neurological deficits, not unwillingness, keep kids with attention deficit disorder from learning in traditional ways.<\/p>\n<p>As a parent, you can help your child cope with these deficits and overcome the challenges school creates. You can work with your child to implement practical strategies for learning both inside and out of the classroom and communicate with teachers about how your child learns best. With consistent support, the following strategies can help your child enjoy learning, meet educational challenges\u2014and experience success at school and beyond.<\/p>\n<p id=\"teachers\" class=\"post-content-item wp-block-heading\" data-item=\"post-item-1\"><strong>Tips for working with teachers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember that your child&#8217;s teacher has a full plate: in addition to managing a group of children with distinct personalities and learning styles, they can also expect to have at least one student with ADHD. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpguide.org\/articles\/add-adhd\/teaching-students-with-adhd-attention-deficit-disorder.htm\">Teachers may try their best<\/a> to help your child with attention deficit disorder learn effectively, but parental involvement can dramatically improve your child&#8217;s education. You have the power to optimize your child&#8217;s chances for success by supporting the steps taken in the classroom. If you can work with and support your child&#8217;s teacher, you can directly affect the experience of your child with ADHD at school.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of ways you can work with teachers to keep your child on track at school. Together you can help your child learn to find their feet in the classroom and work effectively through the challenges of the school day. As a parent, you are your child&#8217;s advocate. For your child to succeed in the classroom, it is vital that you communicate their needs to the adults at school. It is equally important for you to listen to what the teachers and other school officials have to say.<\/p>\n<p>You can ensure that communication with your child&#8217;s school is constructive and productive. Try to keep in mind that your mutual purpose is finding out how to best help your child succeed in school. Whether you talk over the phone, email, or meet in person, make an effort to be calm, specific, and above all positive\u2014a good attitude can go a long way when communicating with the school.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=&#8221;Click here to read more&#8221; color=&#8221;primary&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.helpguide.org%2Farticles%2Fadd-adhd%2Fattention-deficit-disorder-adhd-and-school.htm&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] ADHD and School written by Jeanne Segal, Ph.D. and Melinda Smith, M.A., posted on Help Guide School can be a challenge for students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder\u2014but here\u2019s how you can help your child or teen succeed in the classroom.
