How Do Teachers Record ADHD Behaviour Interventions? 

Recording ADHD behaviour interventions is an essential process for tracking the effectiveness of strategies aimed at supporting students with ADHD. Teachers play a key role in documenting these interventions to ensure that the child receives consistent support and to assess whether adjustments are needed.  

Documentation Methods 

Teachers typically use a variety of documentation methods to record ADHD behaviour interventions. This can include written notes, digital logs, or checklists that detail the specific strategies implemented in the classroom. Teachers document which interventions are used, how often they are applied, and the student’s response to each strategy. For example, a teacher might record using positive reinforcement to encourage task completion or providing frequent breaks to help the student manage restlessness. 

Intervention Logs 

Intervention logs are often used to track the frequency and effectiveness of specific behavioural strategies. These logs may include columns for the date, intervention used, observed behaviours, and any changes in performance or behaviour. This ongoing tracking allows teachers to evaluate the success of each intervention over time and make necessary adjustments. I 

Support Strategy Notes 

Support strategy notes provide a more comprehensive summary of how different approaches are working. Teachers may note strategies like seating arrangements, task modifications, or extra time for assignments. These notes ensure that all staff members involved in the student’s education are aware of the interventions in place and can provide consistent support. 

In conclusion, recording ADHD behaviour interventions helps guide decisions about future strategies and ensures that the student’s needs are met effectively.
