What is an accommodation?
An accommodation is an adaptation or change to educational environments or practices that helps a student overcome the barriers, or challenges, presented by the disability. It does not change the expectations for learning or the requirements of the task.
Types of accommodations
Accommodations are typically divided into four categories:
Presentation accommodations
Response accommodations
Setting accommodations
Timing and scheduling accommodations
How can educators identify and select accommodations to address the needs of individual students?
Using a set of guiding questions, the teacher will identify one timing and scheduling accommodation for a student with a disability based on his or her individual strengths and needs and the barrier created by the disability. The educator will then implement the accommodation and evaluate its effectiveness. Finally, the teacher and student will reflect on the effectiveness of the accommodation.

What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?
ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed conditions of children (Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, 2015).
In a 2016 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, scientists found that 6.1 million children aged 2-17 years living in the U.S. had been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is similar to previous estimates.
Ages 2-5: Approximately 388,000 children
Ages 6-11: Approximately 2.4 million children
Ages 12-17: Approximately 3.3 million children
The diagnostic term attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) refers to individuals who display patterns of inattention, impulsivity, and overactive behavior that interfere with daily functioning (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013).
