This Week we learned about children with special needs other than disabilities. Children in this category can be considered under something called the 504. the 504 is any student struggling with attention problems, drug addictions, chronic health problems, communicable diseases, temporary disabilities resulting from accidents or injury, environmental illnesses, and alcoholism. This means that they can get help for any of these problems if they are determined eligible.
Who is eligible? Pretty much anyone with any of the above stated problems as long as they have proof of the problem.
Helping a child with ADHD. It is very important that when a child has ADHD that we are patient with them. We should allow extra time on tests, have them focus on comprehending short passegesses rather than long ones, give extended periods of time for math, In large group instruction keep the pace perky and allow for many opportunities for student participation.
