I had lunch with a teacher friend of mine the other day. We were talking about skills tests in the schools and it reminded me that many people who have ADHD also have learning disabilities. Even if they don t have a specific learning disability, their concentration levels are not always conducive to achievement in school. I thought it might be helpful to discuss ten practical ways those with ADHD can improve their chances of success in school. If your school has a class or course in study skills, be sure to take it.
People learn in different ways.
Usually these classes address several techniques to help individuals study. One or more of those ways may very well be helpful to you. Find a class member who will share notes with you. If you are distracted by note taking, find a friend who takes good notes and have them share with you. Other people with ADHD find that taking notes helps to keep them on track, but they have difficulty discerning the most important parts.
