Deep dives

Understanding ADHD and Emotional Regulation

Students with ADHD often face challenges in regulating their emotions due to inherent neurological differences. This condition can cause sudden emotional shifts, making individuals easily agitated or overly excited. Additionally, many students may lack the necessary coping skills to manage these emotional responses effectively, leading to difficulties in the classroom. Sensory overload from an overly stimulating environment can further exacerbate their struggles to maintain a calm and regulated state.
