The successful school for ADHD
A successful school year starts from the first day of September. Try to add something to the progress of your child by talking to him/her about his/her targets, and the actions that will be taken during the new school year. Talk to the school educators, talk to a specialist and good luck!
Here you will find 9 basictipsfora successful school year:
- Sum up the previous school year and the targets for the new school year (what went well, what could go better, how this can be achieved)
- Visit and walk through the school and the new classroom (in this way your child will be less anxious)
- Create a quiet and bright place for study, with a steady chair, with no objects or toys around that will attract the child’s attention
- Buy objects that will help your child organize his/her school life and the study at home (folders, stickers, clock…)
- Getfromthebookshopmorethanthenormalnumberofschoolobjects(they usually get lost and more of them will be needed during the school year)
