This quantitive study aims to observe how educators work with students diagnosed with ADHD as well as, if the students´ gender has an effect on educators work procedures. Furthermore, the study views how learning and education can help encourage students with an ADHD, and if there is an active inclusion. The research questions consists of: “in what ways can outdoor pedagogy be healthy for students with ADHD, and how can it encourage their learning process and inclusiveness?" and “How educators work with students with ADHD,and is the work process different depending on gender?”. This study contains a background that explains the profession of an educator at Swedish leisure centers. Additionally, it also explains, learning and inclusion through outdoor pedagogy which is acquired through controlled play and free play, the diagnosis of ADHD and the difference between boys and girls with ADHD. From previous research scientific articles has been used. The results of the study conveyed educators different work processes. Some educators considered outdoor pedagogy to be important for students to get fresh air and move, and for the students to see, be acquainted with and discover new things due to a natural curiosity. Informators who work with outdoor pedagogy pin points the importance of outdoor pedagogy and how much it contributes to students´ learning process and personal growth. On the other hand, there are informators who do not work with outdoor pedagogy but who still view the pedagogical theory as an important aspect and, consequently expressed outdoor pedagogy as a working process in their educational styles.

Denna studie fokuserar på elever med ADHD på fritidshemmen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur fritidshemslärarna arbetar för att inkludera elever med ADHD på fritidshemmen och vilka utmaningar som fritidshemslärare upplever i sitt dagliga arbete. För att samla in data valde vi att använda oss av kvalitativa intervjuer. Vi utförde intervjuerna på två skolor i olika kommuner inom Stockholmsområdet där vi intervjuade tre fritidshemslärare från varsin skola. Vi valde två olika kommuner för att få en inblick i vilka likheter och skillnader som finns i arbetet med att inkludera elever med ADHD i undervisningen på fritidshemmet. Vid analysen av empirin vi gjort utgick vi från Vygotskijs teori samt de relationella och kategoriska perspektiven inom specialpedagogiken. Resultatet av studien visar att de olika kommunerna använder sig av liknande strategier för att inkludera elever med ADHD på fritidshemmet. De strategier de använder sig av är förberedelser, enskild introduktion, ge eleven en roll i undervisningen och inkludera eleven i planeringen av aktiviteten. Det som skiljer kommunerna åt är att den ena skolan arbetade med laminerat schema med hjälp av bildstöd samt stöd av fritidshemslärarens kroppsspråk. Resultatet av studien visar även på att de intervjuade fritidshemslärarna använder liknande strategier när de stöter på utmaningar med elever med ADHD. De förklarade vikten av att bemöta eleverna lågaffektivt och att låta eleven återhämta sig innan man kan prata om en konflikt som uppstått. / This study focuses on students with ADHD in leisure centers. The purpose of the study is to investigate how leisure educators work to include students with ADHD in leisure centers and the challenges that leisure educators experience in their daily work. To collect data and analyze our research, we chose to use qualitative interviews. We conducted interviews at two schools in the Stockholm area from different municipalities, where we interviewed three leisure educators from each school. We chose two different municipalities to investigate similarities and differences in including students with ADHD in their leisure center teaching. In analyzing the data we collected, we relied on Vygotsky's theory, as well as the relational and categorical perspectives. The results of the study show that the two municipalities use similar strategies to include students with ADHD in leisure centers. The difference between the municipalities was that one school worked with a laminated schedule using picture support, as well as support from the leisure educators body language. The results of the study also show that the interviewed leisure educators use similar strategies when they face challenges with students with ADHD. They explained the importance of meeting the students in a low affective manner and allowing the student to recover before discussing any conflicts that may have arisen.
