Common classroom accommodations fail to improve outcomes for children with ADHD

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20261113/Common-classroom-accommodations-fail-to-improve-outcomes-for-children-with-ADHD.aspx Extra time on assignments, frequent breaks and quiet workspaces are among the most common ways schools support children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). But a new Florida International University study finds these accommodations do not significantly improve students' classroom behavior or academic performance. The study, published in JAMA Pediatrics, evaluated four widely used accommodations: extended time, frequent breaks, standing at a desk and working in a low-distraction environment. None produced significant improvements, even when combined with behavioral interventions or stimulant medication.
