Learning is a process where individuals gain new knowledge, skills, and an understanding of the world through various experiences, educational endeavors, and exploration. However, individuals with ADHD may face academic struggles due to working memory problems and impairments in cognitive flexibility.
The Tips To Make Learning More Engaging handout helps enhance a client’s learning experience by suggesting a variety of hands-on activities. These include role-playing, creating comics, and doing experiments. Each activity is accompanied by examples to increase their understanding.
As kids and teens discover and apply the tips from the handout, they can develop a more positive attitude toward learning, which may lead to improved retention of information. These strategies can be applied in various settings, such as classrooms, homeschooling environments, and even during leisure time at home.
This handout can be found in our ADHD Handouts Bundle along with 28 other handouts supporting kids with ADHD.
