Students with ADD/ADHD present the following challenges for teachers:
They demand attention by talking out of turn or moving around the room.
They have trouble following instructions, especially when they’re presented in a list.
They often forget to write down homework assignments, do them, or bring completed
work to school.
They often lack fine motor control, which makes note-taking difficult and handwriting a
trial to read.
They often have trouble with operations that require ordered steps, such as long division
or solving equations.
They usually have problems with long-term projects where there is no direct supervision.
They don’t pull their weight during group work and may even keep a group from
accomplishing its task.
