Today is your Meeting with your Child with ADHD’s Teachers: What Questions should you Ask?

For some reason, many parents enter into meetings with their child with ADHD’s teachers and do not know what to ask. Additionally, due to the fact that they feel intimidated, they tend to ask few questions, if any at all.

Here are some specific questions that you might ask:

Is my child on grade level?

Which subjects are his strengths?

Is he keeping up with his homework assignments and projects?

Is my child making friends?

Is he interacting with his peers in a free environment, such as recess and/or lunch?

Is he taking responsibility for his belongings?

Is he raising his hand to answer questions in class?

Is his behavior appropriate when the teacher is giving instructions and/or teaching a lesson?

Does he pay attention to instructions and then follow them?

These questions are just some suggestions. What other questions have you asked your child’s teachers in your meetings?
