School, 504, IDEA & your ADHD child
You're probably reading this because you're confused about what your school should offer your ADHD child, or you're angry that your school isn't providing accommodations for your ADHD child. You do have rights. These rights are given to you by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Sample IEP

intervention used to reach specific student goals. Play Attention is
a fantastic intervention to use in an IEP because it addresses and
documents progress in a variety of cognitive skills and behaviors.
Each Play Attention level cited in the criterion section addresses
a different cognitive skill. The cognitive skills are as follows:
Level I, Sustained Attention
Level II, Visual Tracking
Level III, Time on Task
