Designing Functional Learning Environments
In this unit, we’ll look closely at how the classroom setting can either support or hinder students with ADHD. Many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because their environment makes it harder to stay organized, focused, and engaged. By making simple adjustments, we can create learning spaces that reduce frustration and set students up for success.
Watch the videos below and complete the reflection activity to build your understanding of ADHD and how it may affect students in the classroom.
