She has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which is more commonly known as ADHD. There are many characteristics known of the disorder. The child may have trouble focusing, in general or on specific tasks. They can get fussy and move around a lot(fidgeting). They are also very easily distracted. Their attention span is very minute and can range. ]]> 2017-05-15 06:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171753659 How to Recognize ADHD Symptoms in Children stackableheaven https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171753863 2017-05-15 06:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171753863 Teaching Accommodation Strategies stackableheaven https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171754681  
It can be tough for a teacher to come up with modifications that will better enhance the educational journey of a child with ADHD, but here are some tips!
  • Seating is super important. Try to seat in rows. 
  • Seat in front of the teachers desk
  • Seat away from windows and doors
  • Repeat any and all information needed
  • Try to not assign too many timed tests
  • Answer any questions necessary, repeat those too if you must. 
  • Accept late assignments
  • Keep instructions simple
  • Give the child an organized journal or binder to ensure work gets done.
  • Allow breaks

This disorder can be treated with medication, but medicine is always expensive. I would either have to opt out for a pricey insurance or just pay fully for the medication. Ex: Ritalin. I would also like a counselor present in our lives. I would have to pay for the services of the counselor to teach me certain skills and strategies. I would also like them to work with the child one on one. ]]> 2017-05-15 06:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171756727 Resources for Parents and Teachers stackableheaven https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171757411

How is your child developmentally the same and different from other children at the various ages? stackableheaven https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171760066 I feel blessed to be a parent. My child is mine and I will love her regardless of her disorder. Her disorder does not define her. Even though it might make the job of being a parent a little more difficult at times what is most important is her and her development. Compared to other children her age, she has to be paid more attention to. She has to be taught certain behavioral traits as if she was a younger child. It might take her longer to get work done, or to organize all that she has to do, but it is okay because I, along with the help of her supportive teachers, will be by her side and will be treating her no differently than any other child.]]> 2017-05-15 07:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171760066 Parenting Tips stackableheaven https://padlet.com/stackableheaven/o2azvgqjqml9/wish/171762532
