What are the Characteristics and Instructional Needs of Students Who Are at Risk?

The strategies for accommodating the needs of students with disabilities are usually effective for students at risk. By using the INCLUDE strategy, you can identify ways to help these students reach their potential

Effective early school experiences for students who are at risk, increasingly based on RtI processes, can establish a pattern of success in school learning that carries through high school. Without such experiences, students at risk are more likely to be identified as having learning or emotional disabilities

Many students with disabilities also are students at risk. Many students with disabilities have bee abused, some live in poverty, and others use illegal drugs

Control of emotions and motivation- the ability to talk oneself into calming down when faced with a difficult or frustrating task

Reconstitution- the ability to combine skills learned across a variety of settings in order to carry out a new task, such as a student's knowledge that the rule for speaking in a low voice applies not only in the classroom, but everywhere else

How Can You Accommodate Students with ADHD?

ADHD-predominantly inattentive type: They appear to daydream but don't tend to wiggle any more than their peers.

ADHD-predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type: These students physically move far more than their peers.

ADHD- combined type: Students in this group display the characteristics of both of the other types of ADHD. They experience extraordinary difficulty both in focusing their attention and in restricting their movement.
