AI Accommodation Suggestions for ADHD

ADHD accommodation suggestions are often reduced to extended time and preferential seating, but ADHD affects attention regulation, impulse control, task initiation, working memory, and organization throughout the school day, not just during assessments. A student with ADHD in a 50-minute class period needs instructional accommodations that chunk tasks and provide visual progress markers, environmental accommodations that reduce competing stimuli, and behavioral supports that integrate movement and regulation tools. The Accommodation Suggestion Generator creates evidence-based ADHD suggestions that address the full range of executive function needs rather than the two most common accommodations.

How Teachers Use Accommodation Suggestions for ADHD

Mr. Torres generates suggestions for a student with ADHD-Inattentive type

A 6th-grade science teacher with a student who has ADHD-Inattentive type. The student does not display hyperactive behavior but consistently loses track during multi-step lab procedures, misses transitions, and submits incomplete work not because of difficulty but because of task initiation and monitoring challenges. He enters the inattentive profile and receives suggestions targeting those specific challenges: a lab procedure checklist, a partner check-in system, a visual timer for task stages, and a private signal system for getting attention redirected without public correction.

Ms. Williams creates a movement integration plan for a 2nd-grade student

An elementary teacher with a 2nd-grade student whose hyperactive-impulsive ADHD makes remaining seated for more than 10-15 minutes very difficult. She needs suggestions that integrate movement into instruction rather than treating it as an obstacle. She receives a movement integration plan: a standing desk option, structured movement break prompts built into transition points, a classroom job that involves movement, and brain break activities that can be done quickly without disrupting instruction.

Ms. Chen generates organization suggestions for a high school student

A high school counselor supporting a 10th-grade student with ADHD whose primary challenge is organizational, missing assignments, losing materials, forgetting deadlines. The student has no difficulty with the academic content but is failing courses due to submission and organization failures. She generates suggestions specifically targeting executive function and organization: a digital assignment calendar check-in system, a locker organization protocol, a teacher communication system for upcoming deadlines, and a simplified materials system that reduces the number of objects to track.
