Executive functioning challenges often go hand-in-hand with ADHD — impacting planning, focus, emotional regulation, and task completion. But with the right strategies, we can help students thrive in and beyond the classroom.

When a student with ADHD interrupts, fidgets, or goes off-task, it’s easy to see what’s going wrong. But what if we trained our eyes to look for what’s going right?

Understanding ADHD means more than just recognising restlessness or inattention.

It’s about seeing potential, creating structure, and equipping students with the tools they need to thrive — academically, socially, and emotionally.
