A 3-part series to help teachers understand the complexities of ADHD and LDs, how to engage these students, and how to create a system of support so they can succeed in your classroom and beyond.
Part 1: What Every Teacher Should Know About ADHD & LD
The“He’s a handful.” “She has her head in the clouds.” “They won’t sit still for two seconds.” “It’s like talking to a brick wall.”
Every teacher has challenging students in the classroom. But while such students were once dismissed as mere disciplinary problems, it’s now understood that many are struggling with ADHD or a learning disability.
How does a teacher respond? How does one identify students with ADHD and LD, manage them in the classroom, and get them the help they need?
You can gain important insights into the issues during What Every Teacher Should Know About ADHD & LD. ADHD and LD expert Sandra Rief, M.A., shares a wealth of critical information on topics including:
- Learning disabilities that affect students in the classroom.
- The behaviors that commonly result.
- Models for teacher response.
- The critical factors in determining school success for these students.
- Research-validated treatment options.
- Myths about ADHD and LD, and the truth behind them.
- The teacher’s role in the collaborative team support process.
- And much more.

Part 2: ADHD & LD: Engagement & Management Strategies
We’ve come a long way from the dunce cap and the corner stool …
“Challenging” students used to be dealt with predictably – using a lot of discipline, and very little compassion.
That all changed with the realization that most of these students were struggling with ADHD and learning disabilities. Now, rather than punishing them for their struggles, we’re discovering new and better ways to manage their classroom behavior and keep them engaged, so they can actually learn something. We’re focused on turning them into students rather than pariahs.
You can hear the latest thinking on the subject – and learn valuable classroom approaches – during ADHD & LD: Engagement & Management Strategies. Sandra Rief, M.A., will show you how to meet the challenges posed by students with ADHD and LD, and create a learning environment in which everyone – the students, their classmates and their teachers – can thrive.
In this 90-minute video presentation, Sandra Rief, M.A. – a leading author, speaker and educational consultant – will share her insights on topics including:
- Strategies for minimizing behavioral problems in the classroom.
- Tools for motivating and engaging diverse learners.
- Appropriate interventions for challenging behaviors.
- Techniques for keeping students on-task.
- Ways to accommodate differing learning styles.
- Positive teacher behaviors and their benefits.
- And much more.
You’ll gain a wealth of practical, proven methods for maintaining a productive classroom and a healthy learning environment.

Part 3: ADHD & LD: Academic Strategies, Supports, and Accommodations
Learning to identify students with learning disabilities is a start … managing their behavior and keeping them engaged is a big step forward … but we can really only claim success when they’re learning.
In this 90-minute online seminar recording, you can get up to speed on state-of-the-art strategies for teaching kids with ADHD and LD.
ADHD & LD: Academic Strategies, Supports, and Accommodations will provide valuable insight on effective teaching techniques. Presented by Sandra Rief, M.A., a leading author, speaker and educational consultant on learning disabilities, the seminar will cover:
