Completing homework can be a challenge for many students as a result of difficulties maintaining focus, poor time management, and feeling overwhelmed. This challenge is exacerbated for students with ADHD, as the interplay between the home and school environments becomes more complicated.
The ADHD Tips To Improve Homework Completion handout supports clients in their efforts to increase productivity by making homework more manageable. It shares eight student-friendly tips, and each tip includes specific examples.
By reading and applying the homework completion strategies, kids and teens may feel less overwhelmed and increase their likelihood of success. A helpful tip for parents would be to display the handout in their child’s study space. Parents and teachers may also collaborate to identify challenges and celebrate successes in the child’s routine.
This handout is included in our 29-page ADHD Handouts Bundle to support kids with ADHD with a wide variety of coping strategies to better manage ADHD symptoms.
