Description
Supporting students with ADHD in managing impulse control requires strategic approaches that go beyond sheer willpower. They are trying hard already and it is not working!
Completing tasks involving self-control demands higher levels of effort, difficulty, and mental fatigue, which is especially true for individuals with ADHD. For these students, controlling impulses is a daily, strenuous challenge often misunderstood as aggression, defiance, or disrespect.
Research has shown that willpower is a finite resource, highlighting the importance of tailored strategies to help students manage their impulses more effectively. School-based professionals can provide explicit, scaffolded instruction to students and their caregivers, focusing on situation selection and modification strategies that reduce the effort required for impulse control.
This resource teaches students how to use strategies to direct their focus toward aspects of a situation that promote self-control rather than hinder it.It’s important to understand that students who avoid impulsive behavior are not necessarily more disciplined; they are often better equipped to anticipate and navigate situations that could trigger impulsivity.
