Accommodation
Adjustments or modifications made to help individuals with ADHD succeed in various environments, such as extended time on tests, preferential seating, or breaks during tasks.
Overview
Accommodations are adjustments that help individuals with ADHD succeed by reducing barriers and providing needed supports.
Detailed Description
Accommodations for ADHD can include extended time on tests, preferential seating, breaks during tasks, organizational supports, use of technology, flexible deadlines, and modified work environments. Accommodations don't change what needs to be learned or accomplished - they change how it's accessed or demonstrated. They're based on individual needs and can be formal (through IEPs or 504 Plans) or informal.
How This Relates to ADHD
Accommodations are crucial for helping individuals with ADHD succeed in school, work, and daily life. They address functional impairments while allowing individuals to demonstrate their abilities.
Treatment and Management
Identifying needed accommodations requires understanding one's specific challenges and strengths. Working with educators, employers, or healthcare providers can help identify appropriate accommodations.
