For children with ADHD using a volunteer in the class to repeat or demonstrate what is required is very helpful for children. It not only allows the children to hear from a peer the instructions of an assignment, but they can see how they are supposed to do it from a peer as well. I have noticed that when my students don’t understand what is expected of them and can see another child do it they feel more comfortable trying or even asking questions. Have you tried this before?

Happy national popcorn day! Kids love popcorn, and making crafts with it is even better! Using popcorn in fine motor crafts are fun and help the child reinforce their pincer grasp. Improving a child's pincer grasp is essential for fine motor skills and handwriting skills such as pencil grip. You can get as creative as you like using popcorn! In the picture above, we made a tree using a paper plate, a string for the branches, and popcorn as the leaves!

⠀ Students with learning disabilities often have a hard time in class and struggle to understand and or keep up. By creating some of the lessons geared towards allowing them to succeed, this will allow them to celebrate their accomplishments. This will also help to boost their confidence in themselves, letting them know that can succeed and motivate them to work harder to feel that sense of accomplishment again. What are some of the ways you motivate your children?
