I taught a student with ADHD for two and a half years in my Chorus classes. I came to be able to recognize when his medication had been changed, and, more obviously, when he had not taken it. I instigated more small-group activities in his class for sight reading practice: this helped him to stay more focused than when he was in the large-group setting. When taking standardized tests, he requested to be allowed to test in a storage closet to remove distractions; after my initial reluctance, I found that this worked very well for him. He began to take more care with his tests, and his test scores improved. |
