This PPT training module with focus on how to support students with ADHD. Supporting neurodivergent students in the classroom is crucial for creating an inclusive and equitable learning environment. Neurodivergent individuals, such as those with autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, and other conditions, possess unique cognitive abilities and learning styles that may differ from neurotypical students. Here are several reasons why it is important to provide support and differentiation for neurodivergent students: Inclusion and Equity: Every student deserves an equal opportunity to learn and thrive in the classroom. By supporting neurodivergent students, we promote inclusivity and ensure that their diverse needs are met. It helps create an environment where all students feel valued, respected, and included, leading to improved self-esteem and overall well-being. Individualised Learning: Neurodivergent students often require individualized approaches to learning. Implementing differentiation strategies allows educators to tailor instruction and assessments to meet the unique needs and strengths of each student. By accommodating diverse learning styles, educators can enhance engagement, comprehension, and academic success for neurodivergent students. Academic Achievement: Providing appropriate support for neurodivergent students enhances their academic achievement. Neurodivergent individuals may have strengths in areas such as creativity, problem-solving, pattern recognition, or attention to detail. By recognizing and nurturing these strengths, educators can help neurodivergent students excel in their areas of expertise while also addressing any challenges they may face. Social and Emotional Development: Supporting neurodivergent students positively impacts their social and emotional development. By fostering an inclusive classroom environment, students learn empathy, tolerance, and respect for neurodiversity. Additionally, tailored support helps neurodivergent students develop self-advocacy skills, self-regulation strategies, and coping mechanisms, which are essential for their overall well-being and successful integration into society. Enhanced Classroom Environment: Supporting neurodivergent students benefits the entire classroom community. Implementing differentiation strategies encourages flexible and creative teaching methods that can benefit all students. It fosters a culture of acceptance, respect, and understanding, where all students learn to appreciate and celebrate diversity. This training with focus on supporting students with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. By the end of this training you should be able to: Define Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Recall the symptoms of inattention Recall the symptoms of Hyperactivity and impulsivity Apply effective strategies to support students with ADHD

Executive function is the brain’s ability to manage tasks effectively. I made this resource to create an executive function display in my classroom. This supports all of the pupils in my class but was designed to help my neurodivergent pupils specifically. My pupils complete the assessment rubrics so they know what their strengths are and what they need to work on. I find it useful to refer back to with the children. Pupil’s have free access to the display, they can help themselves to a strategy whenever they feel they need to. I have provided timers, blank timetables, to do lists, emotion wheels, calming down strategies etc… and the pupils just help themselves. I have included a couple of photos of my display as an idea of how you can use this resource. Please feel free to use it in any way you find useful. It is based on this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Smart-but-Scattered-Revolutionary-Executive/dp/1593854455/ref=asc_df_1593854455/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310977458808&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=764855614215065740&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006688&hvtargid=pla-406163957193&psc=1&mcid=48400fb402983448846c1ae51f9a6ab9&th=1&psc=1 If you find this resource useful, please leave a review.

A simple ADHD screener for primary and secondary school pupils. Please note, this screener does not provide a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD but is designed to help professionals/families to identify whether an individual may be presenting with some of the behaviours typical of an individual with ADHD. The results of this screener then may help to evidence a referral for a neurodevelopmental assessment if it is felt this would be necessary. Please note, the questions below are taken from a combination of the following documents: DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria for ADHD, Sheffield NHS Children’s ADHD Assessment, Conners-UK ADHD Screener. This was created by an inclusion coordinator of a multi-academy trust and an experienced SENDCO.

This resource is a total of fifty-one slides to use as a presentation for older teenagers, young adults, college students, older adults, parents, etc. The material discussed is that of thirteen strategies that adults can adopt and implement for success in life.

Do you have students that have difficulty paying attention and finishing class work? This is a social story I use successfully in class as a precursor to lessons about distractions. It teaches students what a distractor is, but more importantly it helps with the loss of self esteem that occurs with constant negative feedback kids with ADHD traits get at school. The message being; everyone learns differently and this is OK. You can purchase the self monitoring chart I sell to go along with this lesson to help teach students how to self monitor using looping audible timers. I find this to be a great start to lessons about brain breaks. I hope you do too!
