How to coordinate home–school communication? 

Strong ADHD home–school communication acts as a bridge between classroom and home, ensuring consistency, clarity, and support for students. Children with ADHD benefit most when both environments use aligned support strategies and address challenges collaboratively. 

Regular parent-teacher collaboration helps identify patterns in learning, behaviour, and emotional regulation. When families and educators share what is working and what is not, they can adapt approaches that improve outcomes at school and at home.

Tips for Effective Communication and Collaboration 

Here is how teachers and parents can work together for stronger ADHD home–school communication: 

Schedule regular check-ins 

 Brief weekly emails, notes, or quick calls ensure both sides stay updated. Consistent progress updates help track trends and prevent small issues from growing. 

Use a shared communication tool  

A notebook, app, or online platform where both teacher and parent log homework, challenges, and successes improves visibility and response. 

Set joint goals  

Agree on a few simple, shared objectives, whether it is improved homework completion or calmer mornings. This supports alignment and accountability. 

Share insights and strategies  

If a certain routine or method works at home, let the school know. Similarly, school insights about what inspires focus can inform home routines. 

Focus on strengths and progress  

Alongside discussing difficulties, highlight small wins such as improved task completion or emotional regulation. Celebrating progress builds positivity and momentum. 

Improved ADHD home–school communication creates a united support network that empowers learners in both school and life.
