Here are some tips on using worksheets with your ADHD students...

Stress accuracy instead of quantity of work. This is really what you want as a teacher anyway.

The child is easily overwhelmed and discouraged. Reduce the quantity of work on a page. Instead of giving 30 problems on a page, give only five or six. Then the child won't be overwhelmed, and successes will build up his self-esteem.

Your student may tend to want to be "the first one done" on assignments. Set reasonable accuracy goals with him and collect the entire group's work at once to reduce time pressures.
