ADD/ADHD Students in Computer Lab - First Graders

I could definitely use some help here! I have one class, first grade, with at least 5 children who are bouncing off the walls in here.

I have found several things that work with this class. Constant recognition, "Good Job" and "I like the way you...." work very well. They respond well to praise.

Scott Headphones (along with a little behavior modification) are certainly the answer! If money is a problem then I suggest recycling your school's toner cartridges. Staples and other organizations will give you credit for the empties which you can exchange for headphones.

Not all sites make a lot of noise! Check out my visually kid friendly sit...See More

CompTeacher One thing I have found helpful with ADD/ADHD kids is to have them turn off their monitors when giving instruction. Sometimes I have the whole class do that because they can't focus on what is on the screen at the same time they are trying to focus on instruction.
