Helping Students with ADHD FOCUS

Description

This one sheet teacher education resource provides a structured strategy to help educators move beyond generic reminders to “focus,” instead using specific cues that align with the self-regulatory processes students need to sustain attention effectively. Perfect for implementation guidance of accommodations that support focus.

This resource helps teachers integrate prompts that activate students’ abilities to sense, select, and sustain attention in manageable steps. These prompts—such as “notice the first sentence” or “watch for the next step”—guide students to focus with intention, reducing the need for repeated redirection and minimizing classroom disruptions.
