Hi Erin,
Having worked with ADHD and ADD students for a number of years that information you were given is dead on. This is why it is important to keep the class flowing and have a variety of activities planned for these learners.
For the general student populations it is good to know their multiple intelligences and learning preferences so you can provide support as needed. For some it is silence others, background music helps them to focus on the tasks at hand just as it does for you. Good advice, thanks for sharing it with us.
