Education

Students diagnosed with AD/HD may be entitled to classroom accommodations, adaptations, modifications, or services if the condition has an adverse impact on educational performance. While a formal diagnosis is required, it does not automatically entitle a student to services or accommodations under either of the applicable federal laws.

A child's public school should provide parents with information about local procedures and policies governing AD/HD and its treatment and impact on learning.

In addition, through a CHADD membership, information is provided to parents of children with AD/HD on all aspects of education, including legal rights and classroom techniques to achieve success.
