High school and university entrance exams are important milestones for young people. However, for children with learning disabilities or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), this process can be challenging. We must remember that exams measure not only knowledge, but also the level of students' knowledge.
What are learning disabilities and ADHD?
A learning disability is an individual's difficulty in learning in certain academic areas. Difficulties in areas such as reading, math or writing can be defined as a learning disability. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms such as attention deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity. This condition can affect the test preparation process, especially with problems such as distraction and difficulty focusing.
Exams measure not only knowledge but also the level of knowledge!
First of all, let us recognize that exams do not only measure knowledge, but also the level of knowledge of students. Therefore, in preparation for exams, it is important to develop the skills to understand and analyze topics in depth, rather than just focusing on memorizing information. This is perhaps even more important for students with learning disabilities or ADHD, for whom preparing for exams can be a greater challenge.
Points to consider in the preparation process:
Individualized planning: For children with learning disabilities or ADHD, it is necessary to create an individualized preparation plan. This plan should take into account the child's strengths and weaknesses and include appropriate strategies.
Regular and planned study: Adopting regular study habits and creating a specific study plan are effective in the exam preparation process. Managing time effectively can reduce stress and increase success.
Attention and focus exercises: Attention and focus exercises can be done for students with ADHD. These exercises can help them concentrate and focus during the exam.
Visual and auditory learning tools: Understanding topics using visual or auditory learning methods can help students better retain their knowledge. Diagrams, cards or other tools that visually represent topics can be used.
Test stress management: Exam stress can be a greater challenge for students with learning disabilities or ADHD. Learning and practicing strategies to cope with stress affects success. Techniques such as deep breathing, relaxation exercises or meditation can be used.
