ADHD

Randy was a 5 year old child in my kindergarten class. He was a typical child that was smart in certain areas for his age. The first few days of class I noticed some instances so I decided to log some of Randy’s behaviors. I observed that transitions were especially difficult for Randy. I decided to observe Randy for three to four weeks and make a daily log of his behavior in the classroom environment …

…and his parents and I worked on ways to reduce his outbursts in class. As the year went on, I saw great progress with Randy. I felt like I did the right thing because it made the classroom setting more pleasant, and it also helped Randy to learn better and be accepted with his peers. I feel like it is my obligation to the students for them to get the most out of my curriculm.
