Some tips to help to support learning for a child with ADHD:
​
-
Create a routine / schedule, give a sense of structure
-
Give clear instructions and time to process

Tell them it is ok to make mistakes
-
Build lots of movement breaks into the day - don't expect them to sit for long periods, work off their energy before starting to work

Make sure that any goals set are achievable and they can succeed, then build on them, build their confidence and build on their strengths
-
focus on 1 thing at a time
