A.D.D. / A.D.H.D.

Children with A.D.D. and/or A.D.H.D. typically have trouble retaining their focus on different materials not because they do not comprehend materials, but because these students are distracted much easier than others without A.D.D. / A.D.H.D.

US Taekwondo Complex offers classes without any discrimination based on learning capabilities and skills. Our Taekwondo students are trained on “how” to focus and “why” it is important to understand materials being taught, not because they have to. Instead, we channel the students’ desire and motivation to have them choosing to stay focused without being distracted!

Our Masters use various strategies to train students to:

• Stay Focused During Lessons
• Not Interrupt
• Block Distractions (Distractions due to Sight / Inner Mind)
• Not Move and Remain Still
• Listen to Each Directions
• Make a Personal Decision to want to Learn
• Stay on Task and Move on when Task is Completed
