Why No Kids with ADHD Should Struggle in Schools (and What Your MTSS System Can Do About It)

Thursday July 31, 2025 10:15am - 11:15am PDT

Fuji 2/3

Feedback Survey

With over 10% of students diagnosed with ADHD, why are so few supported before crisis points? Most MTSS frameworks miss early opportunities—relying on generic strategies until ADHD manifests as behavior, academic failure, or school refusal. In this session, you’ll learn why that happens and how to fix it. Walk away with clear, doable Tier I and II strategies that make your MTSS system more proactive, inclusive, and effective for students with ADHD.

Feedback Survey

Join us for an overview of our Elementary SEL MTSS framework, with a focus on our universal screening process. All students are screened three times per year using a research-based tool to identify social-emotional strengths and areas of need. Screening outcomes guide collaborative teacher discussions and help determine appropriate next steps, such as Tier 2 behavior plans or individualized supports. Our goal is to ensure every student receives the right level of support to thrive emotionally and socially.
