Identify a student with a disability in your classroom. Specifically, identify a student who has difficulty in a typical classroom setting demonstrating knowledge. For example, the student might not be able to respond through typical response formats like written tests. To protect the privacy of your student, please use a first name only, or else use an alias.

Describe the student you selected, making sure to include:

Basic details about the student, including age, gender, first language, etc.
A description of the student's disability category and the barrier that interferes with the student’s ability to demonstrate learning
At least three of the student’s strengths
What the student is having difficulty with (such as verbal communication, handwriting, maintaining focus)

When asking students to explore issues of personal and social identity, teachers must provide safe spaces in which students are seen, valued, cared for, and respected. It is also important that students have opportunities to learn from one another’s varied experiences and perspectives. To create this learning environment, teachers need to skillfully draw on student experiences to enrich the curriculum.

Student-Created Reviews
Students can create ways of reviewing previously taught content. For example, they may create
questions and answers for a card game such as Go Fish or Concentration.

Ask the student to submit a reflection about whether the accommodation helped with demonstrating knowledge. Whenever possible, we prefer to receive the student’s original work rather than a transcript or summary of the student’s reflection. The format of the reflection can accommodate the age or disability (e.g., written, audio) of the student. If, to meet this requirement, it is necessary to submit a transcript of a conversation with the student, please report the student’s responses verbatim.

In order for a student to be diagnosed with ADHD, symptoms must appear before age 12 and be exhibited across at least two settings. They must also have adverse effects on academic performance, occupational success, or social-emotional development (APA, 2013).

To add to the complexity of the diagnosis, children with ADHD are likely to have co-existing emotional, behavioral, developmental, learning, or physical conditions (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010).

As a result of the behaviors listed above, students with ADHD are at greater risk of academic
difficulties, social/emotional issues, and limited educational outcomes.
