Inclusive Education for Children with ADHD

Abstract

Inclusive education is an educational system that provides opportunities and access for all students, including children with special needs such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), to learn together in regular classrooms. Children with ADHD have characteristics of difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that require special attention in the learning process. The implementation of inclusive education for children with ADHD in schools uses the full inclusion model, where ADHD children learn in the same regular class as other students while receiving special guidance and assistance from a support teacher. The curriculum used is essentially the national curriculum adapted to the needs, abilities, and characteristics of children with ADHD. Learning strategies that can be applied include providing clear and structured instructions, using varied teaching methods, creating a conducive classroom environment, and providing positive reinforcement. Close collaboration between teachers, parents, and health professionals is crucial to ensure that the needs of children with ADHD in inclusive schools can be optimally met, so that they can grow and develop academically and socially. The purpose of this study is to find out about inclusive education for children with ADHD.
