Helping a child with ADD / ADHD get homework done and turned in on time

• Pick a specific time and place for homework that is as free as possible of clutter, pets, and television.
• Allow the child breaks as often as every ten to twenty minutes.
• Teach a better understanding of the passage of time: use an analog clock and timers to monitor homework efficiency.
• Establish a place in his/her classroom where the student can easily find his or her finished homework and pick an appropriate and consistent time to hand in work to the teacher (helpguide.com)
