                  ADHD 504 Plan and Organizational and Study Skills.

An ADHD 504 plan can be an effective tool in assisting the ADHD student in the classroom. A 504 ADHD plan provides accommodations for the student with a disability so the student can have the same opportunity for success as their peers. 504 accommodations can extend beyond elementary or high school and can follow the ADHD student in post-secondary education or in the workplace. In order to qualify for an ADHD 504 plan, the child's doctor or psychiatrist must verify the disability with a diagnosis and provide necessary documentation.

An ADHD 504 plan allows the student to receive accommodations based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for the disability or disabilities. The plan does not provide any special education service like remedial instruction, occupational or speech therapy or other educational support. Instead, it provides for classroom accommodations like seat placement, extended test time and delivery methods for answers.

A 504 plan is an effective tool for students with ADHD. An ADHD 504 plan allows for a wide range of accommodations. The student might receive a scribe for tests and in-class assignments, or have assignments adapted to require less writing. ADHD students often do better in school when allowed to move about and a 504 plan can require that teachers allow the student to do this. ADHD students often have difficulty with time management. The 504 plan might require teachers to break the ADHD student's work into smaller chunks, allow the student to have a small timer at the desk, or other accommodations that can help the ADHD student better use time wisely.

While many teachers are accommodating to the student's individual needs, there are some who are unwilling to accommodate a student's needs, or do not have enough time to provide such services. A 504 plan mandates that teachers provide such ADHD teaching accommodations when teaching ADHD students with a 504 plan.

There are some things to consider before deciding on a 504 plan for your ADHD child. First, a ADHD 504 plan can be implemented without parental input by the school. The only requirement of the school is to notify the parents after the plan is in place. Compared to an IEP, there are fewer laws to protect the wants and needs of the parent. Additionally, a student is not automatically eligible for special education services with a 504. What this means is that plan accommodations cannot include measures requiring the student to spend time with a speech pathologist, special education teacher, physical therapist, occupational therapist or paraprofessionals.

That said, there are extensive accommodations a student can receive with a 504 plan and these depend on the student's specific needs. Adapting the classroom behavior management process, adjusting schedules, allowing for more frequent parent/teacher conferences and using assistive technology are just a few examples of accommodations.

The ADHD child is often easily distracted and has difficulty focusing their attention on assigned school tasks. However, the following practices can help the ADHD child improve their organization of homework and other daily school assignments. We always suggest using quality ADHD remedies. Here are other helpful tips for teaching ADHD children, regardless of whether there is a 504 plan in place or not;

  • Designate one teacher as the ADHD child’s school advisor or coordinator: This ADHD teacher will regularly review the child’s progress through progress reports submitted by other teachers and will act as the liaison between home and school. Permit the student to meet with this advisor on a regular basis (e.g., Monday morning) to plan and organize for the week and to review progress and problems from the past week.

  • Assignment notebooks: Provide the child with ADHD books like an assignment notebook to help organize homework and other school work.

  • Color-coded folders: Provide the ADHD school student with color-coded folders to help organize assignments for different school subjects (e.g., reading, mathematics, social science, science).

  • Work with a homework partner: Assign the ADHD child a partner to help record homework and other school work in the assignment notebook and file work sheets and other papers in the proper folders.

  • Clean out desks and book bags: Ask the ADHD child to periodically sort through and clean out his or her desk, book bag, and other special places where school assignments are stored.

  • Visual aids as reminders of subject material: Use banners, charts, lists, pie graphs, and diagrams situated throughout the classroom to remind the ADHD child of the subject material being learned.

Assisting the ADHD Child with School Time Management: The ADHD child often has difficulty finishing school assignments on time and can thus benefit from special school materials and practices that help them to improve their time management skills, including:

  • Use a clock or wristwatch: Teach the ADHD child how to read and use a clock or wristwatch to manage time when completing assigned school work.

  • Use a calendar: Teach the ADHD child how to read and use a calendar to schedule school assignments.

  • Practice sequencing activities: Provide the ADHD child with supervised opportunities to break down a long school assignment into a sequence of short, interrelated activities.

  • Create a daily activity schedule: Tape a schedule of planned daily activities to the ADHD child’s desk.

Helpful Study Skills for the ADHD Child: The ADHD child often has difficulty in learning how to study effectively on their own. The following strategies may assist the ADHD child in developing the study skills necessary for ADHD schools success:

  • Adapt worksheets: Teach the ADHD child how to adapt school worksheets. For example, help a child fold his or her reading worksheet to reveal only one question at a time. The child can also use a blank piece of paper to cover the other questions on the page.

  • Venn diagrams: Teach the ADHD child how to use Venn diagrams to help illustrate and organize key concepts in reading, mathematics, or other school subjects.

  • Note-taking skills: Teach a child with ADHD how to take notes when organizing key academic concepts that he or she has learned, perhaps with the use of a program such as Anita Archer’s Skills for School Success.

  • Checklist of frequent mistakes: Provide the ADHD child with a checklist of mistakes that he or she frequently makes in written school assignments (e.g., punctuation or capitalization errors), mathematics (e.g., addition or subtraction errors, or other academic subjects. Teach the child how to use this list when proofreading his or her work at home and school.

  • Checklist of homework supplies: Provide the ADHD child with a checklist that identifies categories of items needed for homework assignments (e.g., books, pencils, and homework assignment sheets). There are a number of books on ADHD that can add additional information about these tips.

  • Uncluttered workspace: Teach a child with ADHD how to prepare an uncluttered workspace to complete school assignments. For example, instruct the child to clear away unnecessary books or other materials before beginning his or her seatwork.

  • Monitor homework assignments: In the ADHD classroom, keep track of how well your students with ADHD complete their assigned school homework. Discuss and resolve with them and their parents any problems in completing these assignments. For example, evaluate the difficulty of the assignments and how long the children spend on their homework each night. Keep in mind that the quality, rather than the quantity, of homework assigned is the most important issue. While doing homework is an important part of developing study skills, it should be used to reinforce skills and to review material learned in class, rather than to present, in advance, large amounts of material that is new to the student.
