Improving Classroom Participation for a Bright Student with ADHD through Organization and Communication

Libby Allen, an 11-year-old female student with ADHD and emotional challenges, struggles with classroom participation and organization. Despite being bright, she faces difficulty focusing, often doodling, and tends to come unprepared to class. Her parents are involved but perceived by teachers as giving "lip service." A structured plan was developed involving organization of materials, participation incentives, and regular communication among teachers, parents, and counselors. Weekly progress tracking showed improvement over four weeks, emphasizing the importance of follow-through and collaboration in supporting her educational journey.
