Students with ADHD or learning disabilities often struggle in traditional classrooms, which tend to prioritize speed and results.

Educators should do their best to adapt assignments to students’ unique needs and learning styles, whenever possible. This download is full of ideas for tweaking homework assignments or project requirements to give children who learn differently the same opportunity to shine.

Whether a student struggles with disorganization, poor memory, or turning in their assignments on time, this free resource helps teachers understand the reasons for the disconnect — as well as provides easy-to-apply ideas for helping children overcome their obstacles and learn long-term skills.
