Classroom skills — how Akasha works
A classroom uses sitting tolerance, following instructions, attention and finishing a short task. Akasha practises those in small, visible goals — not a lecture about being good.

What gets practised
A short sit. One instruction, then two. Starting a task and finishing it. Waiting a turn without grabbing. Asking for help instead of leaving the table. That is classroom readiness, not “make them typical”.
ADHD can look like none of this is possible. It is often load, sleep or an instruction that was too long. See ADHD and classroom support.
How it is taught
Prompt, then fade. Reinforce the attempt. Break the task. Keep the burst short enough to succeed. Parents get one routine to try that week — breakfast, the bag, the door — not twenty worksheets.
A teacher can act on a one-page list. That is the letter to school and IEPs.

Classroom skills — questions parents ask
My child is three and cannot sit. Is that ADHD?
Usually it is being three. We still help with one-step instructions and play. See ADHD or ordinary energy.
Will you put them in a large class to practise?
Not as the first move. Many children learn the skill with one adult, then one peer, then a group. A noisy class as the first step is often unkind.
