Homeschool Teaching Tips for ADHD Kids

Question:
anybody tell me the Homeschool Teaching Tips for ADHD Kids ??


Answer:
Homeschool Educator of ADHD Child Shares Teaching Tips

When I first began homeschooling our ADHD son I searched everywhere for tips on HOW to teach this highly distractible child. I found volumes of information on how to recognize the ADHD child, how to manage the ADHD child, how to medicate them, how to discipline them, and how to accept them. But I found practically nothing on how to teach them.

So I embarked into the world of homeschooling trying to apply typical education strategies on my atypical child. After 6 difficult months, I stopped thinking in terms of "what works for most children" and I finally began to find out what works for MY child. Over the years we developed tricks and strategies that clearly made a difference. I got to thinking that I wish someone had shared some of these teaching "tricks" with me BEFORE we'd had our 6 difficult months. So the purpose of this website is to share what we've experienced in case it may be helpful to others with ADD/ADHD children. But I also hope to gather the best of ideas from other homeschooling families in similar situations and share these as well.
