[quote=Anonymous]Kids with ADHD usually need lots of active play, not just walking around the classroom picking up a new activity. Lots of schools have shortened recess or cut down to just one recess and it is often just not enough for kids with ADHD. The Mont. school I toured said they are not a good fit for very active kids since they don't have recess until after lunch and the kids are expected to "work" for 3 hr blocks of time. I know for my son with ADHD, walking around a classroom to get out a new activity or to put one away just doesn't satisfy his need to move. He needs to run, run and run some more. And also to hang from playground equipment, climb, etc. He needs to use his large muscles in order to satisfy his need to more. Then he is able to concentrate.[/quote]
