Classroom activities require a certain amount of focus, patience, and self-control. School can be particularly challenging for children with ADHD because the condition can affect a child's ability to focus, follow directions, and control their behavior.
But there's good news: when properly diagnosed and treated, many children with ADHD are able to manage their symptoms. At school, teachers reported that children taking CONCERTA® showed improvement in ADHD symptoms as measured in areas such as focusing better, paying attention better, and completing projects that they started.
Children taking CONCERTA® completed more math problems accurately throughout the day in a laboratory school study. And CONCERTA® can help improve social interactions.
It's important for parents and teachers to work together to help a child with ADHD succeed. One of the most important things you can do is talk with your child's teacher regularly to keep him or her informed about your child's treatment progress. It may be that the teacher has taught other children with ADHD and can offer advice for helping your child.
