Inclusion slide

Promoting inclusion for students with ADHD involves modeling acceptance and appreciation, seating them with conscientious peers, allowing them to participate in classroom jobs, and giving them extra time on assignments and exams. This helps them feel involved and on the same page as their classmates, reducing stress and improving focus. Inclusion is vital to ensure they don't feel left out. Three ways to promote inclusion. First, model acceptance and appreciation for the student. Then peers are more likely to do the same. For projects, pair the student with another student who is conscientious about completing assignments on time. Seat the student next to other students who are also conscientious workers and who provide no distractions. Second, allow students with ADHD to participate in classroom jobs and give them the task of door opener or handing out papers. This will then allow students to move around and get breaks from sitting in their seat for too long. And other students can do this as their classroom jobs rather than their classmates who has a disability, therefore they get the chance to move around. Three, extra time on assignments slash exams. This reduces time pressure because students with ADHD struggle with time management and may take longer to process information. This will allow the extra time to reduce the stress and give students the fair opportunity to show their knowledge on the exam. Also, extra time allows students to improve focus and attention. Students with ADHD struggle to stay on task and often require breaks. Therefore, the extra time allows breaks to refocus and return to the exam. Inclusion is extremely important in classrooms for students with ADHD to make sure they are feeling constantly involved and on the same page as their other students. And just because they have a disability, they do not need to feel left out in the classroom.
