“First-Aid” Tools for Teachers with Attention-Challenged Children

Here is a list of tools for Montessori teachers to immediately begin implementing with their attention-challenged children. These tools will help the teacher manage the challenging behaviors of a child with ADHD and, in the freedom of a Montessori environment, will help the child attend better to learn to manage his/her own behaviors. For mild cases of ADHD, this may be all that is required to support a child’s success in a Montessori classroom.
