Research-backed tips to help children thrive academically and socially.

Supporting students with ADHD requires a thoughtful and structured approach, both at home and in the classroom. These helpful tips from the Child Development Institute provides practical, research-based strategies to help children improve their focus and build critical skills to succeed.

Key techniques include creating consistent routines, using positive reinforcement, and introducing manageable tasks that promote confidence and independence. This valuable resource also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between parents and educators, ensuring children receive consistent support in both environments. Simple adjustments, such as minimizing distractions and providing clear, step-by-step instructions, can have a transformative impact on a child’s ability to focus and engage.

By implementing these approaches, caregivers and teachers can help students with ADHD thrive academically while fostering their social and emotional growth.
