Thank you to all of our prfessional educators who dedicate themselves to our chldren! We know how difficult it can be wrking with ADHD children, so here are yur teacher tips for the week, brught to you by the ADHD Infrmation Library and ADDinSchool.com. You can rad over 500 classroom interventions at http://www.ADDinSchool.com .

Here are some tips on giving tests to ADHD students:

Consider modifying the test environment for your student to accurately assess his ability/achievement on subject area and standardized tests. Individual administration in a distraction-limited area with frequent breaks will give a more accurate assessment/evaluation than group administration.

Divide the page into sections and use a system to cover sections not currently being used. If possible, use different colors on worksheets or tests for emphasis, particularly on those involving rote, potentially boring work. Have the students use colored pens or pencils.

Give frequent short quizzes and avoid long tests. Provide practice tests.

Provide alternative environments with fewer distractions for test taking.
 
Using a tape recorder, have the student record test answers and assignments or give the student oral examinations.

Shorten assignments. If the child can dmonstrate adequate concept mastery in 10 or 20 qestions/problems, don't require 30 to 40 prblems.

Hopefully these will help the ADHD stdents in your classroom to be mre successful. You can learn more bout Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder at the ADHD Infrmation Library.
