Chapter 1

What a child with adhd usually needs

  1. Executive-function scaffolding: planning, starting and finishing tasks

  2. Short, structured learning blocks with movement built in

  3. Calm, consistent boundaries that the whole household keeps

  4. Homework and organisation systems that actually get used

Chapter 2

How a shadow teacher or special educator helps

A shadow teacher or special educator for a child with ADHD builds the structure the child cannot yet build alone, coaches the routines around school and the homework hour, and works with the school and any paediatrician or psychologist involved.

Chapter 3 · Where our role ends

Diagnosis and medication are for the child's paediatrician or psychiatrist. Our professionals never advise on medication; where medication is part of the day, its handling is agreed in writing with the family and the clinician.

Chapter 4

Your child's team, working as one

With your consent, we build the child-support profile with the school and with any therapist, psychologist or paediatrician already involved, so the professional arrives knowing the plan rather than guessing at it. Monthly reports go to you, and to them if you wish.
