In the “Transitions in ADHD – Grade R to Grade 1” talk, we explore the unique challenges faced by children with ADHD as they transition from early childhood learning in Grade R to the more structured environment of Grade 1.
This transition often reveals or amplifies ADHD symptoms, as children are now expected to handle increased academic demands, sustained attention, and longer periods of focus.
We examine the neurodevelopmental factors behind these challenges, focusing on how changes in executive function and sensory processing affect children’s ability to adapt.
Practical strategies are shared to support children during this transition, including tailored routines, sensory strategies, and classroom adjustments that foster focus and reduce anxiety. Ideal for parents, educators, and professionals, this talk offers a proactive approach to helping children with ADHD successfully navigate the demands of formal schooling.
