For students with ADHD, starting homework can be a daunting and overwhelming task.

The
constant distractions and difficulty with focusing can make it feel almost impossible to get started on
assignments. This can lead to frustration, anxiety, and even avoidance of homework altogether.

One of the main challenges for students with ADHD is initiating a task. They often have trouble
organizing their thoughts and breaking down a larger assignment into smaller, more manageable
tasks. This can lead to procrastination and a feeling of being overwhelmed.

Another difficulty is staying focused on the task at hand. Students with ADHD may get easily
distracted by their surroundings or their own thoughts, making it difficult to concentrate on their
homework. This can result in a longer time spent on assignments and a decrease in the quality of
work.

As a result, many students with ADHD struggle to complete their homework on time and may feel
discouraged by their academic performance. This can also lead to tension and frustration within the
family as parents try to help their child stay on track with their assignments.
