100 Ideas for Supporting Pupils with ADHD
This little book is designed for teachers but can be used for homeschooling families too. It has 100 ideas, one on each page about how teachers and educational staff can support students with ADHD.
The tips are divided into these sections: preparing to teach the child with ADHD, lesson time, ADHD and the classroom, behavioural difficulties, helping the pupil with organization, specific learning difficulties, handwriting problems, enhancing self-esteem and social skills, medication, gifted children with ADHD, parents and colleagues, transitions and ADHD with other difficulties.
Each tip is short and sweet and to the point. The book is a bit outdated but the tips are still usable. This was probably a better resource when education about ADHD was less common. Most of the tips are pretty obvious if you are familiar with ADHD. But if a teacher or homeschooling parent is new to ADHD, it would be helpful.
