Integrate Equitable Behavior & Classroom Management Practices for ADHD
Copyright :
The complexities of ADHD present a diverse range of challenges that can disrupt learning and social interactions, often leading to frustration for both educators and students alike.
Yet clinicians and educators often struggle to find accommodations and modifications that not only support the student with ADHD but also benefit the entire classroom.
Join Evelyn Polk Green, MSEd, as we face these challenges head on with strategies that create an ADHD-friendly learning environment while promoting inclusivity and engagement for all students. You’ll learn how to:
- Assess the impact of various evidence-based behavioral interventions, accommodations, and modifications to improve academic performance, behavior, and engagement
- Implement targeted, evidence-based strategies to improve self-regulation, classroom behavior, peer interactions, and inclusivity, while fostering academic success
- Develop tailored activities that address sensory and cognitive needs, enhancing students’ well-being, engagement, and academic achievement.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your approach and make a lasting difference in the lives of students with ADHD—one step toward creating classrooms where everyone can flourish!
