THREE TYPES OF ADHD:
  1. Inattentive: Occurs in more females than males and consists of getting distracted or bored easily, having poor concentration(hard time listening or following directions) and organizational skills(difficulty learning new information), lose objects needed to complete a task, and move more slowly and appear as if they are daydreaming  
  2. Hyperactive-impulsive: Occurs in more males than females and consists of interrupting(don’t think of the consequences), taking risks(constantly“on the go”), difficulties staying on task, talk constantly, impatient and difficulties with staying on task
  3. Combination: A child’s symptoms don’t fit neatly in a category and result in symptoms found within both categories.

Strategy 1: Have clear expectations- Establish a routine that stays consistent even when an unusual event such as an assembly occurs. Teach rules through the same few strategies during a lesson, such as providing an example or acting out what is expected. This will assist in listening skills and allowing the child to feel secure with no surprises. 
Strategy 2: Let students move- With a goal of increasing focus time to 15-25 minutes of working time/concentration, use a brain break as a reward. During the break give them the opportunity to dance, talk with a friend, stretch or walk around and then move on until the next reward. Overtime strive to more work time depending on the improvement of the child. 
Strategy 3: Provide deadlines- work on time management skills by providing the following: breaking the project or assignment into chunks, provide a detailed explanation, provide a rubric and a clear due date. This teaches how to break up lengthy work into a timely manner promising completion.
