[quote=Anonymous]One of the reasons that I would think that Montessori would be great for a child with ADD or ADHD is the lack of distractions in the classroom. It's a calm, focused place. There aren't bright colors everywhere. The furniture and walls are plain and not adorned with multiple posters and pictures and educational materials that distract children as they are trying to listen to a teacher who is squeezing every single child into a one size fits all approach. The more I learn about Montessori, the more I am convinced that this is an approach that can work for all children. It doesn't meant that other approaches can't work too, but I've seen it work very effectively for sociable kids and shy ones, for kids with ADHD and those who do not, for kids who are advanced and those who are behind grade level, for those with other special needs and those without.[/quote]
