ADHD Symptom Recognition in Maryland Schools: How Local Educators Spot and Support Students
Teachers and school staff often serve as the first line in recognizing potential ADHD symptoms in students. Their daily interactions and observations in structured educational settings provide valuable insights into identifying children who may need additional support. Understanding how Maryland schools approach ADHD symptom recognition and support is crucial for parents and educators alike.
Recognizing ADHD Symptoms in the Classroom
“As teachers, we typically watch out for ADHD symptoms like impulsive behaviors, being off task, out of seat, and calling out. Typically we would start monitoring students behavior through behavior charts and communication home. We also provide incentives and different strategies to support the student and decrease unwanted behaviors,” says Alyse Adams, M.Ed., MSED, Special Education Department Chair with Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS).
Teachers observe these patterns across different subjects and situations, looking for consistent behavioral trends rather than occasional instances. Disorganization is another tell-tale sign. Students might regularly forget homework, misplace books, or struggle to keep their desk area tidy.
