    School Supports for ADHD

    By Morgan Schroeder

    Posted: March 7, 2024

    In the article below, I will discuss school supports for children with ADHD, including why this support may be needed and how to access the service.

    It is important to note that all individuals diagnosed with ADHD are just that – individuals. This means that each child’s needs will be different. They will have different strengths and weaknesses, meaning that one size fits all service recommendations will not apply.  That being said, refer to your evaluating provider for which services are best for your child.

    If you have general questions or concerns about ADHD, see ADHD in Children: What you need to know. If you are interested in learning about other treatments for ADHD, see Supports and Services for Children with ADHD.

    How to initiate an IEP evaluation

    Contact your school principal or special education director to request an evaluation to determine special education eligibility.

    School Supports

    School supports begin with an evaluation for an Individualized Education Program (IEP). An IEP is a plan that determines the supports that the child needs to be successful in the school setting. An IEP includes measurable goals that can be either functional or academic based.
