This intervention was used from the first day of school. Nevertheless, I will make a great attempt to ensure that every student, especially the most inattentive students, is leaving any task he/she is doing, focusing on me, and paying attention. Then, I will set up a clapping plan that I will start and the students will conclude. The students will be given specific instructions to stop what they are doing, do something with their hands, and have their eyes on me, listening for my directions or instructions. For example, during reading lessons, when it comes to transition and the students must listen to the directions about how to move forward with the reading class, then I would initiate the clapping pattern and would ask my students to finish it. Lastly, I would tell my students to put their hands in the air followed by their head, and to keep their hands there by the time they are looking and listening during the time I am giving directions. Having the students look and listen ensures that they are ceasing whatever they were doing and really focusing on listening to the next set of directions. In addition to the clapping pattern I will make sure that the students are paying attention to all directions I am giving, especially during the direct instructional activity. Before I start giving directions, I will make sure that every student is on task and completing the activity. Teachers also need to examine the learning environment. The fact that a student starts his tasks and does not finish them can be caused by the teacher’s poorly planned or disorganized lesson because these are some of the factors that influence students with learning disabilities such as ADHD’s attention in classroom
