Sample Accommodations

Instructional / Classroom

1. Chunking of Assignments: Break large or multi-step assignments into smaller, manageable parts with frequent check-ins to monitor progress and reduce overwhelm.
2. Extended Time on Tests and Assignments: Allow Kim additional time to complete in-class assignments and assessments to account for attention-related delays and refocusing needs.

Environmental / Accessibility

1. Preferential Seating: Seat Kim close to the front of the room or near the teacher to minimize distractions and increase opportunities for redirection and support.
2. Access to Noise-Canceling Headphones or Quiet Workspace: Provide Kim the option to use noise-reducing tools or work in a low-distraction setting during independent tasks or testing.

Health / Medical

1. Scheduled Breaks: Allow Kim short, movement-based breaks (e.g., walking to the office or stretching) as needed to help manage restlessness and maintain focus.
2. Health Room Access for Medication: Ensure Kim has access to the nurse’s office to take her prescribed ADHD medication at school as needed and according to the medical plan.

Behavior / Social

1. Cueing and Prompting for Self-Regulation: Provide non-verbal or discreet verbal cues to help Kim recognize when she is off-task or needs to manage impulsive behavior.
2. Positive Behavior Support Plan: Implement a simple behavior reinforcement system focused on goal setting, such as earning brief preferred activities or praise for task completion or respectful peer interactions.
