Supporting Attention, Hyperactivity and Impulsivity needs
1 of 1

Attentional, impulsivity, and hyperactivity needs (including ADHD) can result in a ‘vicious cycle’ whereby pupils experiencing them not only miss academic content but are also reprimanded and corrected far more than their peers. Over time, this creates a learning and behaviour gap between these individuals that negatively impacts how they are viewed by other pupils, parents, staff, and themselves.
