Consider these Accommodation Questions When Helping Students and Employees

ADHD Accommodation Questions to Consider:

1. What limitations is the employee/student with the learning disability experiencing?

2. How do these limitations affect the employee/student and the employee's/student's job/school performance?

3. What specific job tasks are problematic as a result of these limitations?

4. What accommodations are available to reduce or eliminate these problems? Are all possible resources being used to determine possible accommodations?

5. Has the employee/student with the learning disability been consulted regarding possible accommodations?

6. Once accommodations are in place, would it be useful to meet with the employee/student with the learning disability to evaluate the effectiveness of the accommodations and to determine whether additional accommodations are needed?

7. Do supervisory/teaching personnel and employees/student need training regarding learning disabilities?

If you can add to the accommodation questions, please submitt them so I can add them to my site.

These are some great questions that can be presented to an employer or a school teacher. It is also a good thing to read if you have ADHD to learn how the disorder affects you.

I remember having problems at one of my jobs. I did a lot of typing and I had a quota to meet. I wasn't doing to well and I told my boss about my condition. It didn't mean anything to her because either I made it or I was out the door.

I eventually found a new job and left. I could have talked to HR but I wasn't happy there in the 3 years that I worked for the company.

If you are a supervisor trying to learn about the condition, I want to say thank you. Since you are learning how you can help your employees with ADHD, I know that you care about them.

That is more than what most supervisors even care to do. Once again, thank you for your desire to learn and help.
