How a student’s life can unfold:

Elementary

Many kids can handle elementary school without issue. The girls in particular because much of their ADHD is internal rather than external and physical.

The wiggly boys will be challenged by the need to sit still and regulate their emotions and impulsivity. When your child is in elementary and ADHD seems to hinder their experience it is often the need to physically move that will help the most. Having a ball chair or standing instead of sitting can improve your child’s experience immensely. 

Recess

I often recommend that the school know that recess is a non-negotiable and must never be used as a “carrot” to entice your child to behave. They need that wiggle time and it should not be taken away.
