How to Teach (and Inspire) Students with ADHD

To learn, you must first believe you can.

This rings true for all students, but it echoes more loudly for neurodivergent children and teens. However, most educators receive no formal training for teaching students with ADHD and learning differences (LD). As a result, teachers may mistake ADHD symptoms in the classroom for carelessness, defiance, and/or laziness. They may not recognize that executive functions develop more slowly in these students or realize that these deficits impact how they focus, plan, organize, and learn.

With the right tools, educators can unlock a lifetime of positive learning and show students they are capable and resilient. How to Teach (and Inspire) Students with ADHD: A Guide for Educators points the way.

It begins with a simple but critical truth: Students with ADHD learn differently. We identify symptoms of ADHD and learning differences educators seldom recognize at school — and provide solutions for anticipating and addressing each.

Great teachers know that saying the right words in the right way can transform the self-esteem and drive of a formerly defeated student. Here, we highlight how visual and auditory cues and praise make a difference in the classroom. This eBook also provides teachers with communication strategies and scripts to help increase confidence, self-advocacy, and productivity in students with ADHD and LD.

In its 225+ pages, How to Teach (and Inspire) Students with ADHD: A Guide for Educators details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

• Surprising ways ADHD shows up in the classroom
• How executive function deficits impact learning
• Why praise is important for children with ADHD and LD
• How teachers can support twice-exceptional students
• Ways to boost confidence and motivation in students
• Why school stress is toxic for students with ADHD and LD
• How to recognize — and prevent — student burnout
• And much more!

Above all, educators will gain insights into engaging, inspiring, and multi-sensory teaching strategies that support and prepare children and teens with ADHD to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
