Elements in Practice at MLA

 “Years of teaching experience with students diagnosed with ADHD/ADD have taught me that the addition of stimulant medication alone does not do the trick. The overt behaviour may dissipate; however the “catch up” time for acquiring skills is much slower. These students respond successfully  to intensive, one to one, remedial teaching using a direct instruction approach.  My mantra for teachers and parents of these students is: ‘Reading, Riting, Rithmetic, ‘Ritalin’ and (most importantly), Remediation, ( academic, behavioural, social)’ .
