I would like to emphasize that ATTENTION DEFICIT AND HYPERACTIVITY, which is one of the important issues of today, is an important issue that should not be overlooked. It is of great importance to be aware of this issue and act consciously, especially in the school environment.
There are many individuals diagnosed with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Turkey
there is. It is especially seen in male individuals. The factor that makes ADHD important is that it is seen in school-age children and is increasing day by day. If you are an educator, it is possible that you may encounter an ADHD person in your classroom. ADHD children generally have difficulty adapting to the order in the classroom, and they make you feel this difficulty, too. Most of the time, he may have problems with his friends.
It may sometimes be difficult to control the situation. How should we treat ADHD children in the classroom and how can we bring them into our future? How can we help them with these difficulties and reduce their burden? Idealist
educators/teachers look for answers to such questions. Because they know that instead of making wrong interventions, we can create criminals.
Both the conscience and the human dimension of this can be an unbearable burden.
If a child diagnosed with ADHD is lucky, he will have a conscious family and receive additional support from experts such as psychologists and therapists in addition to the medications he uses.
. Because they will see in the course of their lives that medication alone is not enough
and they will realize the importance of controlling the child's behavior
As you know, ADHD children are different from the other children in our class in terms of structure.
It is different. For this reason, a different approach and technique than other children should be applied. In order to minimize the negative effects of this special condition of the ADHD student and increase school success, studies at home alone are not enough. At the same time, school support and the instructor's approach are of great importance. The best reason for this is that he spends most of the day at school. The best way to understand an ADHD student in your class is to first know what ADHD is. passes through the loop. I will explain what ADHD is in detail and what kind of problems he suffers from, so that you can understand his inner world. When we look from his
window, it allows us to understand him better and to be more patient with the mistakes sometimes made
. This will also help you become psychologically stronger in the classroom and will allow you to work more efficiently with children diagnosed with ADHD.
Although ADHD, which is one of the most common disorders among children, is between 3-5% in Germany
, it is seen at a rate of 25% in our country. It increases the rate.
The reason for this difference is not parent behavior, teacher behavior, environmental approach, and
it is not their fault. Biological differences in children diagnosed with ADHD have been revealed through research
and symptoms begin to appear before the age of 7. To give an example of the perspective on this situation
If you have a visual impairment, this is not caused by your parents or teachers
It is a biological difference you experience, you should use glasses to see better
is required. ADHD children also have a biological difference, such as a visual impairment, and to cope with this, they will manage to control their learning and behavior by applying some techniques
and this will be their glasses. We are the people who will help him wear these glasses.
We will support him in this difficult process and remind him that he should wear his glasses when he tries to take them off.
We will help him control his behavior.

.
When we examine the above characteristics, almost many children have this type of behavior. We can observe that there are behaviors or
similar. So what makes ADHD different from other children?
Although many children have some of these characteristics, there are critical
differences between ADHD and other children:
ADHD CHILDREN :
He cannot keep himself focused whenever he wants, no matter how hard he tries and
how much he desires, he cannot stay focused all the time and prevent himself from getting distracted
can't be
These difficulties occur socially with friends, with Scientifically, it significantly affects performance in areas such as school, home, or other activities. It affects their school performance and their ability to complete tests
, write, or finish homework
and significantly degrades their performance; they may be late, be disorganized, or pay attention
They cannot do what they want because they are distracted.
ADHD children experience these problems not only at school but also in many places.
ADHD children have great problems and difficulty in using their time well. If we explain this
with an example; Parents become angry and frustrated with their child with ADHD
because not completing a small task takes too much of their child's time
and they realize that their child is trying but lack of attention prevents
p>indicates that he is not aware. Something that seems simple to others may be difficult to do for ADHD
but this is not because of lack of effort, but because it is an obstacle created by the attention deficit problem.
Some ADHD patients Even though their children's mobility has been reduced by the medication used, their minds are constantly restless and they may find themselves listening to an activity or thinking about other things when they should be focusing. (As an educator, while you are teaching, your student may uncontrollably be engrossed in different
thoughts and may not be able to listen to what you are saying and focus on you, which may cause
the student to miss the lessons and not be able to learn the subject and not be able to take notes on the assignments.
He may not be able to do the assigned tasks because he does not know what homework to do, these and similar things
leaves him behind from his friends)
ADHD children especially in EXECUTIVE FUNCTION (personal-oriented for the future by the person
they have difficulty with a special class of behaviors, just like an orchestra needs a conductor
. If there is no conductor at the head of the orchestra, the music may not be listenable
but with a good conductor, unique music can emerge. For this reason, children with ADHD have trouble learning how to plan, organize, and perform complex tasks. You and sensitive educators (chiefs) like you can bring useful and successful individuals to our future, not the children we will lose.
This is one of the greatest assets we can leave to the world.
ADHD children may also have different difficulties - anxiety, -depression - learning
disorders.
WHAT KIND OF TREATMENT METHOD IS FOLLOWED FOR ADHD CHILDREN?
ADHD children receive drugs such as adderal, concerta, daytra, strattera, intuniv, focalin, metadate, ritalin
Tries to be treated with stimulant and non-stimulant drugs. These medications help the child to cope with ADHD problems, but they cannot prevent the change in problematic habits and behaviors. Lucky children with conscious families realize that medicine is not enough
and manage to minimize the child's problems
by knowing that a specialist, a psychologist or a therapist is needed. Whoever the specialist works with the child works in parallel with the Parents (family), the Teacher and the child, just like I
did. As we all know, the school environment, as well as the family, has a great impact and impact on the child. For this reason
No intervention should be done ignoring the school and the instructor, and if it is done, it should not be forgotten that it is an incomplete intervention.
WHAT KIND OF STRATEGIES CAN BE USED IN SCHOOL?
If you are an ADHD teacher, I believe that you now understand this difficult situation he is in better
I do not forget that you were familiar with a lot of information before reading what I wrote.
It cannot be done. As a result of the training you have received and applied your own unique techniques in the classroom, you have the most accurate training methods. You
have the best opportunity to observe your student in the classroom, and I would be happy to obtain the information you need to convey about your student
At the same time, this behavior will be of great help to your student.
