However, it important that a parent not burden a teacher with requests for exces- sive paperwork on a regular basis. For students with ADHD in elementary, middle school or high school, parents often need to play an important role in supporting and monitoring homework. Most basic is monitoring the student’s keeping track of what homework has been assigned and when it is due. Many students are reluctant to make use of a daily planner where they write down each assignment for each class, but this may need to be a requirement if they are not able to keep track of their assignments in any better way. Also essential is helping the student to find a good time and place to do ho- mework without getting caught up in distractions such as TV, surfing the net, or communicating with friends by phone, email, texting or social media. This may be done by having specific monitored hours for homework when those distractions are not allowed while also having planned breaks as needed. Some students benefit from talking with a parent daily about what homework needs to be done, what priority to give specific tasks and how to reasonably budget time for task completion. Many students also benefit from help in organizing no- tebooks and papers with occasional cleanouts. Some may also need parental help in gathering resources or library materials for special projects. Parents may also help students review for tests and exams. For older students, test review might be more productive in study groups where just a few students meet together. Prior to meeting, they may divide up content to be covered in an upcoming test so that each student agrees to study one chunk of the material very closely and then quiz other members of the study group about that particular seg- ment.
