Briefings

A study from Florida International University (FIU) reports that common classroom accommodations for students with ADHD, such as extra time and frequent breaks, may not be effective in helping them succeed. The research indicates these widely used approaches might be falling short of their intended purpose.

Key points

• Students with ADHD frequently receive accommodations like extra time, frequent breaks, and quiet workspaces in schools.
• A new study from Florida International University suggests these common approaches may not be helping children succeed.

Context

This research addresses a critical gap in understanding whether standard support systems for ADHD students are actually effective in educational settings.

Limitations

The study covers only common accommodations and does not specify which students benefit or fail. Results are preliminary and may vary across different school environments.
