How Will Gifted ADHD Spend Their Time?
Bored and frustrated In disciplinary actions Being trained only in solving their behavior problems
Raising their educational & skill training levels
Finding future opportunities using specialized programs
Recognition vs. Action
Federal Government recognized all forms of specialized educational needs in 1976
Immediate school actions for learning disabled, non-ADHD gifted, and some ADHD were implemented.
No immediate school action and a very slow acknowledgment of the needed gifted ADHD customized programs to this day
Current Obstacles
Nationally normed grade-level only achievement testing
Lack of experienced recognition of a gifted ADHD student and/or abilities
Misreading student fidgetiness and boredom
Misunderstood troublemaker labels placed on a student
Lack of knowledge for requesting classroom solutions including appropriate funding
Lack of teacher recognition, training, and their voices heard
Lack of plans, kits, and/or detailed curriculums with classrooms available or opened for customization
Lack of Recognition
Unusual peer interactions Misunderstood learning habits Brain damaged or learning
disabled stereotyping Standard testing performed for
weaknesses rather than strengths
Available specific classification of standardized testing ratings
Teachers spend own personal time trying to promote, learn, and help these special children
What is needed for Customized Learning?
Easy funding Standardized class
curriculums with room for student customization
Overcoming skepticism with action
Gifted ADHD recognition Teachers, parents,
administrators, and advocates taking action together
Entire programs in place for examples
Enthusiastic Teachers
Hope
