Boarding Schools for Children and Teens with ADHD
Children and teens with ADHD often fall between the cracks of the public education system. Even traditional private schools often do not have the resources or training to deal with the learning challenges of students with ADHD.
There are boarding schools that specialize in learning disabilities and learning differences related to ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and ADD (attention deficit disorder). These schools understand the unique challenges that face teens with ADHD and help these students develop the skills to improve behavior and focus on their academics. If your teen has ADHD and is struggling in the traditional classroom, one of these ADHD boarding schools may be the answer. The best of these schools take responsibility for developing the approach that will work best with YOUR child, individualizing their approach through an interactive process. This is a dynamic and effective way to heal the frustrations your child has experienced at schools that enforce the one-size-fits-all form of teaching. In effective ADHD schools, the teachers take responsibility in finding the right approach for EACH child.
Examples of schools that specialize in students with ADHD:
