How can teachers support students with ADD/ADHD in the classroom?

Providing clear instructions and structured routines is essential for supporting students with ADD/ADHD in the classroom. These students typically benefit from a predictable environment that helps them understand what to expect and when to expect it. Structured routines alleviate anxiety and allow them to focus better on their tasks, as they can anticipate transitions and reduced uncertainty.

Additionally, clear instructions help students with ADD/ADHD by breaking down tasks into manageable steps, making it easier for them to process information and stay engaged. Consistency in how lessons are delivered and expectations are communicated prevents misunderstandings and keeps students oriented throughout the learning process. This supportive approach fosters a successful learning environment where students with ADD/ADHD can thrive.
