ADD/ADHD
In my 25 years of teaching special needs students, I have learned that individuals with ADD/ADHD can be taught to focus. They do focus, they are just interrupted with their thoughts, need a quiet place to work usually, or sometimes need a lot of noise. They need some tasks broken down, and need to know how long something will take to learn so that can commit that amount of time in their brain to focus. Various things can be used such as a highlighter, music, blue lights, routine, more time to complete tasks, allowed to talk to themselves, movement while learning, a special chair or seat cushion, etc. A teacher who is totally in-tuned to their needs will be successful.
