the class so that it will focus on you and catch up the lessons or discussion. Second is Instruction

intervention, where the teacher handle any disruptive or distracting behaviors like talk to them in
private about their behavior or have a kind of warning signals like hand signals, shoulder squeeze or
have a stick note in their desk so that they can aware that they are in hyperactive and not
necessary to do that. Third technology, it can help a person to more easily tackle daily Challenges

motivate these kids and help them adjust since they often require extra attention and it’s up to
their teachers to provide them with extra help they need.
