If your child has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder you are going to work hard this year and every year after in order to get your child through graduation.
One of the main complications with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is the lack of concentration of any one thing for a long period of time.
While most teachers and public schools will work with children who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder others will not accommodate so once your child has been diagnosed you need to do some research.
It is hard to hear a diagnosis like this but if you have noticed a change in your child over the last few months then you may be relieved to know that there are new ways to live with it and there are ways that you can encourage and increase your child's ability to deal with every day situations.
It's hard on you but image what your child is thinking and feeling too.
Because there are different degrees of ADHD a complete curriculum may be a little different from the normal.
As soon as your child has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, you need to schedule a meeting directly with the child's teacher.
During your meeting, you need to be ready to discuss your child's ADHD and determine how you can best handle the situation.
Your child has a problem in learning but not because of a learning disability but because the ADHD doesn't allow him or her to concentrate long enough to learn adequately.
Your teacher may have a few ideas on how to best teach your child in a positive learning environment or they may have suggestions on new and innovative ways that have recently been discovered.
Your child is not the only one who suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder but your child is your main concern.
If you and your child's teacher do not see eye to eye on everything then you do need to continue the discussion with someone who can somehow create a common ground that will work for both you and your child.
Your child's teacher has a lot to handle with all the kids in the room and each child learns in a different way but your child also deserves a new and productive way to learn as well.
When you do have a meeting with your child's teacher it is important to schedule weekly meetings by SKPYE, phone, or emails to determine if everything is on track and results are positive.
If something needs to change you will have time to address it before your child becomes in danger of failing.
Your child just needs to learn in a different way but the information and the lesson is still going to be the same.
Communication is more than just the key to a successful school year, it is the balance between your child learning something and your child actually learning and relating to the lessons which will strengthen his or her ability in life.
