  That’s not really my area I’m afraid! From what I know, the difficulty can be that it’s more difficult to learn when you can’t focus for a long time on the thing you re trying to learn. I’m not sure how best help students inattentive ADHD students, but do have a look at what my colleagues do at the Salvesen Mindroom Centre, it’s a charity that is all about helping neurodivergent students!

  As with the others, this is not my area but I can imagine that having inattentive tendencies makes it more difficult to concentrate for long periods and therefore learn the amount of knowledge required in lessons. It might be easier to have more breaks and split learning material into smaller chunks.
