Supporting Students with ADHD and Learning Differences

Executive functioning includes the skills needed to plan, organize, manage time, sustain attention, and regulate emotions—skills that are essential for success in school and daily life. When these skills are underdeveloped, challenges may appear as procrastination, missed deadlines, or overwhelm, especially for learners with ADHD or language-based learning disabilities.

What to Expect After Sessions

At Aligned Academic Solutions, progress happens through consistency, communication, and collaboration. Each session is individualized, so growth may look different for every learner — but here’s what you can generally expect:

• Immediate Support & Confidence Building:
  In the first few sessions, learners become familiar with the structure, expectations, and strategies. You’ll often notice an increase in confidence and engagement before big academic changes appear.

• Gradual Skill Growth:
  Over time, you’ll see improvements in reading fluency, comprehension, written expression, organization, and work completion. Growth is steady and cumulative — small wins add up.

• Ongoing Communication:
  After each session (or weekly, depending on your plan), you’ll receive brief notes summarizing focus areas, strategies introduced, and suggestions for reinforcement at home.

• Collaborative Approach:
  You’re encouraged to share updates from school, IEP meetings, or new challenges. Collaboration helps ensure consistency between home, school, and coaching.

How to Support Your Learner at Home

You play a vital role in your learner’s progress! Here are some ways to reinforce growth outside of sessions:

• Celebrate Effort, Not Just Outcome. Praise persistence and problem-solving, even when tasks are challenging.

• Establish Routines. Set consistent times for homework, reading, and breaks. Predictable structure supports executive functioning.

• Create a Distraction-Free Zone. A calm, organized workspace helps students focus and apply strategies learned in sessions.

• Encourage Independent Use of Tools. Prompt your child to use planners, checklists, or reading strategies instead of doing the work for them.

• Stay in Communication. Share observations or new challenges so strategies can be adjusted quickly.

• Read Together. For younger students, daily shared reading builds fluency and confidence. For older students, discuss main ideas, connections, or vocabulary from independent reading.
