Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Children with ADHD often face challenges in the classroom, such as difficulty concentrating, completing assignments, or following instructions. Inattention may lead to poor academic performance, while hyperactivity and impulsivity can result in behavioural issues or difficulty maintaining peer relationships. These difficulties may be misinterpreted as a lack of effort or discipline, potentially delaying diagnosis and intervention.
However, tailored educational strategies can help. Interventions such as Individualised Education Plans (IEPs) or Individualised Behaviour Plans (IBP’s), and classroom accommodations (e.g., extended test times or preferential seating) are often effective. Early diagnosis and appropriate support are critical to ensuring children with ADHD reach their academic potential.
