<p>Have you wondered why children with ADHD struggle in the school environment? While ADHD is not a learning disability, nor a behaviour disorder, ADHD can significantly impact a student’s ability to learn and behave in this environment while impairing their academic achievement. The impact of ADHD symptoms on classroom functioning, typical presentations of ADHD symptoms seen in the classroom and some that may be commonly overlooked will be covered. Typical executive functioning impairments and other cognitive deficits will be discussed in detail. Impairments in self-regulation typically seen in children with ADHD in the home and school setting will also be explained and discussed. </p>

<p>Many students take tests throughout their time at school. Sometimes, the results are used to make important decisions about their educational programs, levels of curriculum mastery, report card grades, graduation requirements, and opportunities for further education. As many as 25% to 45% of students have test anxiety. As a result, these students usually experience high levels of stress, nervousness, and apprehension during these evaluative situations. This presentation will explain the nature and cause of test anxiety and offer strategies that parents, teachers, and professional can use to help students overcome high levels of anxiety during tests. Part 1 was January 23, 2018.</p>
