Recommendations for schools regarding children with ADD/ADHD
- Whenever possible, special needs children will do better within regular classrooms
- Putting more adults in a classroom (ie. EA’s, volunteers, etc.) is good for all children, but especially those who need more immediate feedback and attention.
- Traditionally arranged classroom furniture can provide more structure than the “open” concept.
- Establish, destigmatize and encourage the use of quiet spaces in the classroom
- Standards must be tailored to individual children’s capabilities
- ADHD/ADD children generally do better with a “single teacher” routine rather than “rotary”

Parents' Comments
“Our daughter was the joy of our life until she turned 13, then all hell broke loose. Rick helped us understand what was happening to her and we made some adjustments that helped us get through it. She’s now in University and doing well.”
(D.A. – St. Thomas)
