It's usually a good idea to tell your teachers that you have ADHD, especially if you have different learning needs. You know how you learn best so you can work with family and teachers.
If you have trouble concentrating, there are several things you can do to help make studying easier for you, including:
- Developing a secret signal with your teacher. If you are having trouble getting started on a task you could leave a non-verbal signal. The signal could be a hand sign or leaving a paper clip on your desk.
- Another method to try is self-talk. This is a pattern of thinking where you talk silently to yourself. Ask your school counsellor to teach you how to do this with specific tasks or behaviours.
- Setting up a study area at home to suit your needs. If you are easily distracted by things to look at, keep your room simple and uncluttered.
- Some teenagers with ADHD work better when they have music playing. Try this at home. If it works, ask your teachers if you can try it at school as well.
