Method Components
Problem solving is a critical skill required in order to work successfully with all stakeholders. While educators are not typically trained to problem solve explicitly, daily interactions with students, parents, and colleagues at all levels of the organization give them first-hand exposure to conditions where this key skill might be developed.

There are five universally agreed-upon stages of the problem solving process. When solving any problem, the problem needs to be defined, various solutions identified, the best solution chosen, the selected solution implemented, and the results analyzed.

The teacher will develop a protocol for communicating and problem solving with colleagues. Developing protocols is a structured process that promotes efficient communication, problem solving, and learning.

Websites: A homework website that provides assignments for the week is very helpful to
parents and guardians of students with ADHD. Class news regarding projects and the
week’s instructional topics can also be posted.


Homework Hotline: A homework hotline that gives the assignments for the night and
also provides helpful suggestions for completing them can help families support their
children’s work completion.

Home-School Reinforcement System: One of the most reinforcement effective
strategies is collaboration with students’ parents. Communicate as frequently as
possible (daily is optimal) about the amount and quality of work, as well as the
increase or decrease in appropriate behavior to help parents coordinate their
reinforcement system with the school’s system.

A simple checklist consisting of a list of the desired behaviors and a place for assignments that can be checked off, along with space for special notes, works best.

Causes for mental disorders are very difficult to pinpoint, but the general consensus is that they are products of the interaction of genetics with the environment. Certain people who have genes that influence how the brain processes dopamine may be at increased risk for ADHD, but having the genes doesn’t necessarily mean a person will show signs of the condition. There are a number of things that parents can do or not do that alter a child’s development—and their chances of having ADHD.
