Flipped classroom (supported with collaborative teaching) may in the end support online, face-to-face and hybrid modes of teaching

Encourage hands-on activities with materials available in most of the households

Encourage multi-sensory learning and alternative “reading/ writing” methods, e.g., podcasting/ video blogging/ audio books

Rehearsal with students before trying new platforms in advance. Start class early to give enough time for log-in and technological issues.

Seek parents’ support (if available) in homework supervision or discipline and tech support 

Consult specialists for class and homework accommodations suitable for students with ADHD

It is okay to be stressed and seek help: 

Give positive feedback and set reward systems on self-discipline and compliance

Introduce rules at the very beginning (e.g., stay on mute/ use ‘raise-hand’ icon before unmute/ use appropriate login names and backgrounds)

Reflect and check if some face-to-face classroom rules are necessary in virtual classrooms

(e.g., students may find it easier to focus if listening to your class lying on the floor)

Provide suitable ways for students to seek help during or after class -promote self-advocacy

Attract students’ attention by incorporating their strengths and interests in class

Be parents’ alliance, make them feel supported.

Send parents written and annotated instructions and troubleshoot advice on the device/ software used for online-learning in advance 

Be flexible and supportive for families with financial/ schedule problems for new mode of learning

Some parents may need your support in providing social interactions, intellectually stimulated activities, and discipline at home.

Structured class and familiar routines help students with ADHD keep up with the class progress

Provide organization methods for students to manage their assignments (filing) and submit assignments (designated submission platform)

Create consensus with colleagues on the class transition or platform transition routine

• reduce confusion and chaos

Develop protocols in advance for gradual resumption of face-to-face teaching
