Assignment:
For this discussion post, you will create an information sheet that can be given to a new teacher explaining ADHD in the classroom. It can include pictures, but it must include information regarding:
- All three types of ADHD
- The possible causes (you must include information regarding each possible cause: biology, genetics and environment).
- The importance of a medical diagnosis and why
- Possible signs and symptoms
- The IDEA category it fits under
- How IEP or 504 plans can help a child with ADHD in the classroom
To show this, provide an example of a student diagnosed with ADHD along with the proposed solution. This can be an actual child you know (just be sure to exclude the child's name) or it can be a hypothetical child.
