Common Challenges for Students with ADHD at School
-
Focus and Attention
Focus, especially on tasks that are not highly stimulating, is often a large challenge. We regularly see students struggling with: phone addiction; listening to instructions or following lessons; making careless mistakes in schoolwork; being easily distracted by their surroundings; forgetting information that has just been shared.
We recommend creating a quiet, calm space. Students with ADHD often find this incredibly challenging, as they are used to a busy and hectic environment.
-
Organisation and Time Management
A common ADHD struggle is executive functioning; these are the skills needed to plan and complete tasks. This often leads to trouble starting homework, forgetting to hand in homework, difficulty managing deadlines, and a disorganised desk or schoolbag.
A common joke about ADHD support is to just “suggest using a planner”. If it were that simple, ADHD wouldn’t be a problem. We work through many suggestions and ideas to find the right tool that works for you.
-
Impulsivity and Self-Regulation
Acting before thinking can create difficulties. This might show up as interrupting the teacher or other students, rushing through work, finding it hard to wait their turn in activities, or struggling to regulate emotions, which leads to frustration.
Building self-regulation requires a lot of discipline and drive; almost always including the support of other people. Meditation and other habbits that promote calm are indispensable, but challenging to build.
How Can An ADHD Coach or Tutor Help?
-
What an ADHD Tutor Does
Our tutors focus on academic support. They help students catch up with subjects where they may have fallen behind or feel lost, and master content for exams. An ADHD tutor provides clear, simple instructions, helps break down complex topics, and uses regular check-ins with the family to ensure everyone is on board. This builds a strong academic foundation and helps students feel confident in class.
-
What an ADHD Coach Does
Our coaches focus on other skills needed to navigate school and prepare for the future successfully. This is valuable for students who struggle maily with organisation, time management, and focus. A coach works with a student to build effective routines. They also provide emotional support, helping students develop self-regulation skills to manage frustration and build the resilience needed to tackle challenging tasks.
