Supporting ADHD in the Classroom Kit in a Bag

These practical resources have been designed in conjunction with teachers and learning support assistants to support children who have ADHD. These resources focus on Behaviour, Impulsiveness, Concentration, Noise Levels, Rewards and Instruction.

Some children will:

• Not ‘hear’ when spoken to and not respond to instruction
• Be disorganised and find things distract them from a set task
• Forget to finish a task or activity and leave it without cleaning up or tidying
• Interrupt conversations and talk without thinking
• Demand attention but do not consider what you are doing or if you can be interrupted
• Often say what they think, which may be embarrassing or seemingly rude
• Find sleep can difficult and find concentration tiring
• Physically run, jump, leap and may put themselves into dangerous situations

These are just a few of the traits associated to ADHD. In the classroom it can be very time consuming and difficult to deal with their impulsive behaviour and seeming lack of self control.

Designed in conjunction with teachers and LSAs this kit contains:

“Having taught for 16 years, I’ve never come across a kit like this specifically for ADHD. The contents are great and really practical. I would recommend this product to other teachers and support assistants.”Teacher – Bedford
