Strategies for Setting Up Homework Environment

To create an optimal homework space for children with ADHD, it is essential to ensure a designated work area with a desk, chair, feet on the ground, and noise-canceling headphones if needed. Grounding helps enhance focus, and clearing the desk for academic use promotes a productive environment. Additionally, understanding that some children may prefer places like cafes or busy kitchen tables for better concentration can improve their workflow.
