Understanding the Challenges
The classroom and learning in general pose special challenges for children who have ADHD. While many children are very bright and capable of learning, their hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention can make it hard for them. Children with ADHD can have difficulty achieving their potential, and may get into trouble for their behavior, which may lead to discipline. The good news is that the right combination of treatments including medication, behavior modification, and an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) can help your child succeed in school—academically and socially.
