Attention Deficit children require special care

Private schools for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) or ADD children offer learning difference support and other programs geared toward helping your child master a school setting. ADHD teachers or education aids have special training in helping your child deal with the disorder so the school is well-prepared to deal with a child with this issue.

If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, you may already be frustrated with the way the public school system is ill equipped to deal with your child. Even though your child may be receiving treatment for ADHD, public school may present increased challenges for him or her.

You will likely find that many private schools, where the smaller class sizes and well-controlled environment equip the school well to deal with your ADHD child.

Search our listings of private schools with ADHD preparedness for a school near you.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD ADD) Background.

According to statistics gathered by the National Institute of Mental Health in the USA, the ratio of students with ADHD may be as high as 1 in 20. The disorder manifests in a weak or shortened attention span, difficulty focusing, impulsiveness and even disruptive behavior. In previous generations, parents may have been frustrated by ADHD behaviour calling it "stubbornness" or "acting out." Some may even have mistaken them for "stupid" although research shows that children with ADHD are more than likely of above average intelligence.

It is in your best interest to find a school that is best able to deal with ADHD, as children with ADHD may fall further behind academically and suffer decreased self-esteem when not put into a caring, effective environment. The longer they remain in an environment that is poorly equipped to deal with their ADHD, the higher their risk of involvement with drugs, alcohol and other "self-medication" or "risk taking behaviours."

We list several private and boarding schools prepared to help your child with ADHD.
