I was wondering if anyone has expertise in dealing with symptoms of ADHD. I really do not know much about the treatment for it, and I would like help accommodating a student. There is no IEP at the present time. He was given medicine, not sure which one, and he had negative reactions to the meds. At least I guess the teachers and his grandparents are aware of the problem. I know that ADHD is one of the most overdiagnosed disorders out there.
My student has a difficult time remaining in his seat, and not just the normal things. He also speaks very loudly and randomly. It is frustrating. Yet he is one of the sweetest kids I have ever had. He lives with his grandparents. Not sure the details about the parents.
I was wondering if anyone had any wisdom to share? Thanks!!

I have not worked with to many ADHD students before, but it seems that I have student who is very much like the one you are talking about. It seems that if you work with the student one on one for short periods of time they seem to behave better. I have been able to take the student out in the hallway and work with the student and we get a lot done. Maybe this idea will work with your student as well.
