A Practical Approach to Managing the Behaviors of Students with ADD

Abstract

Behavior management is an important intervention with students who have ADD. This article provides a repertoire of behavior management strategies that educators can use to assist students with ADD in succeeding in school, ranging from conducting a functional behavioral assessment to antecedents-and consequences-based strategies. The article also discusses factors that educators may consider in meeting the behavioral needs of students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Finally, Web-based resources for behavior management and social skills development are addressed.
