## Resource

If a student fidgets, forgets equipment, interrupts, or fails to start work, we often label it as poor behaviour or low motivation. But for many students, what you are seeing is ADHD. In this re-release episode of Miss Estruch Teach & Tell, I break down what ADHD actually is, how it really presents in classrooms, and what genuinely helps without adding to teacher workload. This episode covers: Why ADHD is not a lack of effort or poor parenting How ADHD affects executive function, attention, and regulation Why ADHD is so often misinterpreted as defiance or laziness The real barriers ADHD students face in school systems Practical classroom strategies that make the biggest difference How predictable structures improve outcomes for all students If you work with students who struggle to start tasks, regulate emotions, manage time, or cope with change, this episode will shift how you see their behaviour and your role in supporting them.
