Special Needs Case Study Analysis

Case Study

1. Nathan displays the classic symptoms of ADHD (Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity disorder).

2. Nathan received several accommodations in the past such as, special resources in the resource room. He also was prescribed a RX by a doctor.

3. Some stratigies I would like to suggest Nathan try to help his learning disability are...

• Breaking down his assignments into smaller components.
• Teach him how to "self-talk" through a performance.
• Incoportate hands on activities.
• Place him in a quite part of the room so that he can avoid distractions.
• Create a log to record and monitor assignments he has done.
• Use flash cards to develop skills and confidence.

4. Studies say that there are approximately 2 million children in the United States with some form of ADHD. So in a standard class of about 30 students I am very likely to have at least one student with similar learning disabilities as Nathan. You can find this information here.
