When students feel competent, many negative emotions and troubling behaviors go away. How to help students feel like they can do what's being asked of them.
What teaching methods and classroom qualities work best for students with ADHD and learning disabilities? The answer varies, of course, with every child and every learning environment, however I have found that some universal rules do apply.for ADHD and LD kids recommended here are based on current research — and enriched by my years of experience with ADHD students, parents, and some talented and effective teachers and administrators.
Emotional reactions and negative behaviors may be coping mechanisms generated by frustration and fear of failure. Good teachers understand that many negative emotions and troubling behaviors go away when students feel competent. A lot of children with ADHD orhave had years of negative experience with reading, writing, or math. I call this the “cumulative toxicity of failure.
Part of the teacher’s job is to make sure students have a good understanding of the condition that makes school difficult, and that they know how to work around or strengthen the skill deficit. In this teacher’s classroom, you’ll hear, “You and I know that this might be challenging for you. You also know that positive self-talk can help you get over these tough spots. What’s your brain telling you? If you’re getting an ‘I can’t’ message, practice what you’ve learned to turn it around.
The task of the teacher is to “neutralize” the anxiety by helping the student believe that he or she will be able to do this task. The teacher can show the student a reading passage that he has previously read and was able to comprehend well. She can ask the student to compare the new passage with the “old” one and ask him to state whether the new passage is at an “easier, harder, or about the same” difficulty level.
