Featuring Jennifer Engel Fisher, MS
Tuesday, February 6, 2 p.m.
Does your child have accommodations at school? Are those accommodations helping?
Many children with ADHD are eligible for a 504 Plan or IEP, detailing their academic accommodations. But what accommodations really work for children affected by ADHD? And how do you determine if a recommended accommodation is right for your child?
Join us for this Ask the Expert webinar as we will discuss accommodations that work for ADHD and how to tailor those accommodations to your child’s needs. You’ll learn what your role is in monitoring your child’s academic plan and ways to track if the plan is helping. You child’s role is just as important as your role, so we’ll also discuss strategies to help your child self-advocate.
Learning Objectives
- Identify common accommodations for ADHD
- Describe how to select an accommodation based on your child’s behavior and needs
- Explain how to monitor your child’s progress with accommodations
- Discuss self-advocacy tips for your child
