ADHD children often benefit from special academic accommodations established by teachers and parents who spend thoughtful time pinpointing problematic ADHD symptoms, and then devising classroom accommodations that help solve those problems.
Following is a list of common challenges faced by ADHD students, and the accommodations that can help bring success at school.

If your child: Is easily distracted by classroom activity or by activity visible through door or windows
Try: Seating the student front and center, away from distractions
If your child: Acts out in class to gain negative attention
Try: Seating the student near a good role model
If your child: Is unaware of personal space; reaches across desks to talk to or touch other students
Try: Increasing distance between desks
