Web Corner - Teaching Tips for Highly Distractible Children
I homeschool our now 9 1/2 year-old
"high voltage" son. I wanted to say to you how happy I was
to literally stumble onto an article regarding "Ten Teaching Tips for
Teaching ADHD children." Our son has never been
"labeled" (professionally) as being ADHD, but well, let's just say
that when it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck (and runs, and climbs and
jumps like a duck) .... well can recognize what you are dealing with. The
thing that most caught my attention about your "teaching tips" was
that as I read them, I said to myself, "Who is this woman, and when has she
been peeking in our windows?". I loved finding a "kindred creative
spirit" in dealing with children such as mine. -- Geneva B.
I just finished reading your top 10
teaching tips. When you explained your child at the end and described his
endless energy as a gift it touched my heart. I sobbed as I was reading
your article because you were describing my sweet son. I will try these
things. Just knowing that someone out there understands first hand how
special children gives me great comfort. -- Bonnie S.
I just found your web page and am so
excited to try some of your ideas. I have been looking for useful info I can use
immediately and your site has provided that. I can't wait to implement your
ideas. Thanks so much for the info and encouragement. Also, having him home with
me has really helped me to see the potential that he has and what a special
blessing I have in him. --
Sincerely, Michelle
Carol, I attended a conference you spoke
at in Utah -last March. I
purchased your book. Every idea I have tried, has been an incredible success
with my son. Thank you so much. -- Shelly
I kept clicking on links till I got to
your website. I am glad to see another mother who "threw out the
standard" ideas and went with what works for her own child. In my
case, that is five different ways for five different children. I am eager to get
your book. Keep up the good work, and thank you for taking time away from your
family to help others. -- Cordially, Tiffany R.
I wanted to let you know how exciting the
information on your website is. I am an Associate Behavior Analyst in Florida.
It is so exciting to hear the usable and effective techniques that you have to
reinforce the learning in children with ADHD. Often people focus on the
permanent product (writing the math problems) instead of the ultimate learning
of the subject matter.
Thank you for getting this wonderful information out there. I'm sure you have
helped many parents and families effectively help their children learn. I
will definitely recommend your site to parents of children with ADD/ADHD, that I
work with. -- Sincerely, Andrea M.
Thank you so much for posting this
information on the net. I have searched "High and Low" to find some
answers/help to my perceived dilemma with my hyperactive child. I started
feeling as if there was no hope for him. Finally you are the answer to my
prayers. I am going to make it a point to starting using your tactics tomorrow.
Thank you sooo much. -- Mrs. W.
I came to your web page in search for help
you are the first one I've read and I want to email you before I go to any
other, because I have a great sense of relief tears are in my eyes and a peace
is in my heart. God has used you and the web page. Well I just want to thank you
so much and let you know you helped me. -- Carmen C.
I am a mental health clinician and I have
found your web site to be highly informative with regards to assisting children
with ADHD. I credit you for all of your wonderful suggestions and strategies. I
find them highly successful. I have placed some of your techniques into action
with the counselors that I supervise and they have in turn used these techniques
with their clients. Thanks for all of the wonderful information. - T. B.
Dear Carol, I have just read your tips and
they are like a breath of fresh air! -- Mrs. Helene J. from Birmingham, UK
I tried a couple of your ideas and they
have worked out wonderfully. We both enjoy home schooling now. My son actually
asks if we can school on the weekends too. Thanks to you and your wonderful
ideas we have decided to home school again this year. -- Mary C.
…about Carol's First Book
This book is the best book of how to
homeschool I have ever read. Its humorous, not preachy, and you come away with
MANY MANY ideas about how to make homeschooling work for you and your child (ren).
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I like it so much its now on my
"not to be loaned out" list!
Prior to reading your book I had just about given up on information about
teaching my ADHD/TS kids at home. I feel like you have been at my house and have
just given me a huge hug after witnessing the attempts I make at schooling my
boys. I recommended your book to many friends both for your practical helps and
for your encouraging words. -- Kelly C.
Dear Carol,
I just want to thank you so much for your website and book. I have a 10 year old
son diagnosed ADD (no "H" in there, thank goodness) and was so excited
to get some good, practical advice about how to teach these kids. True to
your observations, the first two manipulative ideas I tried didn't connect with
him at all, although he did try them. The third was such a resounding success
that he got a perfect score on the retest. His teacher was amazed! I was too, I
must admit. My son's teachers are to be commended for their attitude in teaching
him and similar children. I met with them just yesterday and they were
very receptive to your book (they are ordering at least one copy for their own
use)
Thanks again, Carol, for your work and God bless your teaching efforts and your
family. -- Sincerely, Susan S.
