This is what my son school have for children that is struggling with staying on task. It's called checked in check out.

If you're child is struggling to stay on task try this. Hope this works good luck.

This is while hes on his meds. Hes 11 and takes foclian xr 15mg. But he checks in with a teacher other than his that he really likes.

That’s a great idea - thanks for sharing! 😊

Thanks for sharing.

Does his teacher mark this every single day? I've thought about this kind of chart system, but I was told that teacher won't have time to do this everyday.

Does your son have an assistant teacher? Does he get a reward if he pass his score? or he is motivated just enough without reward?

[Kiandra in reply to Adam081911]

He's motivated without the reward because actually the reward is on the paper seeing the awesome scores. Show this to his teacher. She might of thought it was a long form or something. My son is in 6th grade he has 5 teachers and they just circle. She can do morning lunch and circle at the end of the day. It's a small sacrifice she can take to have a healthy learning environment for herself and the rest of the class. I think that's hogwash for her not to have time to fill out a simple form for your child. Good luck

I am about to upload my daughter's check in check out form she's in elementary school she take has adhd and she need meds and the same type of motivation.

[Kiandra in reply to Adam081911]

No he does not have an assistant teacher. I also uploaded my daughter's chart. Totally different she's in 2nd grade.

Thanks. We had an IEP meeting 3 weeks ago. We'll talk about charting/token system with the teacher next IEP meeting if it might be beneficial.

My son’s class has those, and they really help show where he’s having trouble. He’s in 1st grade so it’s broken down into sections based on what they’re doing (like social skills, reading, etc.). If he gets a certain number of points he gets to pick something from the treasure box, so he gets a reward immediately instead of waiting until Friday.

Great. Congratulations

As a parent of a child with ADHD and teacher, these kinds of charts are very helpful and allows each student to see for themselves how they are doing and can be a motivator.
