Diffusing the ADHD Student
Repairing strained
relationships between the student, teacher and parent
Stanford did a study that showed the learning style of the average person as
follows: 89% Visual, 10% Auditory & 1% the remaining 3 senses. As we reflect on
the teaching style in our schools we realize that the average student will
struggle because the primary learning style is Auditory. The ADHD or ADD student
learns primarily with Visual and Tactile inputs and learns very little with
primarily auditory teaching. So the teachers then expect an ADHD child that is
primarily Visual and Tactile in their learning style to assimilate and learn in
a way they are not designed to learn. Then the ADHD student is going to get
bored and then want to do something else to fill the time like talk, move around
the room, and we say "disrupt the class." However, when an ADHD student is doing
a drama presentation of George Washington in class or working in the school body
shop, or editing videos for the student news, they excel. Why?? Because they are
engaged in visual and tactile approaches to learning. ADHD students are
entrepreneurial, inventors like
Thomas
Edison, visionaries, creators, scientists like
Albert Einstein, professional
athletes like
Terry Bradshaw, CEO's,
entertainers, and more because they are full of passion. If we can help them
through school and let them loose in their area of passion they will far exceed
their peers.
