If your ADHD child is having trouble concentrating on school work, there are a few things you can try to help him or her be more effective.
Ask Teachers to Help
Most teachers have been dealing with ADHD children for many years. They have developed a bag of tricks that will help ADHD children stay on task. Even if a teacher doesn't have alot of experience with ADHD, talking to her is smart idea, since you will be making her aware of your child's problem.
Keep Work Areas Clutter Free
At home, remove all the clutter from the desk and surrounding area. Your ADHD child does not need more stimulation to get work done. The fewer distractions, the better. At school, a clean desk is just as important. Ask your child's teacher if he can remind your child to remove any extra materials from the desk before your child begins working on assignments.
Try an Orange Desk Top
It may seem silly, but it works for some children - cover the desk with a nice orange piece of poster board. I know of one ADHD child who has a bright orange binder, which he puts under his worksheets in class. This way, he can always work on an orange background.
