Children with ADHD need support beginning and following through a task. These children need a structured environment that indirectly assists them to focus and stay on track. As well these students need to sit in front of the class due to their attention span. These students need clear expectations and directions when beginning a task; otherwise they will give up mid way.

The key is to collaborative with parents and use them as a resource, and provide them with developmental and academic resources for their child.
