Definition:

ADHD( Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can affect daily life and learning.

How to Support them :

• Show empathy and avoid labels.
  Understand that their behaviors are due to a neurological condition, not a lack of effort or motivation. Avoid labeling them as lazy or careless.

• Keep communication concise and clear.
  Since ADHD students struggle with sustaining attention, avoid lengthy explanations. Simplify instructions and highlight key points to help them stay focused.

• Provide specific reminders.
  Because working memory challenges can make it hard for them to remember multi-step tasks, offer clear, step-by-step reminders to help them complete assignments or activities.

• Offer academic support when needed.
  If they fall behind in class, offer to share notes, study together, or engage in discussions to help them catch up and reinforce learning.
