ADHD School Accommodations!

ADHD School Accommodations! Don’t be shy, ask your teacher(s) for accommodations to help you have a successful school year!
Schools are legally required to give you accommodations if you have an IEP or 504 Plan. I didn't have either but I still got accommodations by asking teachers/my parents asking/fighting for them. I am extremely privileged to have had parents who went to battle with teachers, the school board, and administrators to get me accommodations. I would not have done well in school without them.
If you think you have ADHD, I made a worksheet to help determine if you meet the diagnostic criteria and talk to your doctor about it!

If you think you have ADHD, I made a worksheet to help with the diagnosis process! tinyurl.com/savetimeshan

[@imaperson610]

Can you please write this here as a list of what you did so that I can do the same with my teachers please?

[@Its.Trinitee]

Teachers that are over the moon like that deserve better because their hearts are so sweet, pure, and loving ❤❤❤

[@afrosnmimosas8681]

Oh the privilege of being diagnosed early and being helped instead of shamed for your symptoms. I wish I had this opportunity

[@itsnotif.itswhen]

I feel you, I discovered mine at 30. But I think this girl is doing ADHD community a service by sharing her experiences and knowledge. Not many people with ADHD would want to do this honestly.

[@Ihatemushroomsalot]

I really want to get myself tested but I'm terrified to tell my mother. Learning is genuinely so difficult for me but there's nobody I can tell.

[@suicideshy451]

Same I went through highschool with undiagnosed ADHD and even worked very closely with sped class because the teachers knew something was up but could only relate it to extreme anxiety and would call me neurotic when I'd have sensory overload from my seating.

[@Justanov]

I can't even tell my parents cause they don't believe it. They can't understand...

[@trwn87]

Diagnosed at 6 (with something else though) and was treated like an alien ever since, even now, 10 years later.

[@maurawitzel4313]

I did this undiagnosed and without meds or therapy - I would strongly recommend to anyone seeing this video to follow her lead.

[@dancedivaforchrist]

I can not comprehend a teacher refusing to accommodate such simple requests!!!

[@jo4210]

I didn’t know I had adhd until my junior year of high school and I did really poorly in school. Even after I was diagnosed, my parents really had no clue how to accommodate me. We eventually found a solution that kind of worked but I ended up barely graduating later than my peers and that was really difficult for me to deal with. I kept being told that I was lazy or I needed to try harder but no one understood that me trying looks completely different to a neurotypical person trying. My brain has to work 10x harder to focus and understand things that I have absolutely zero interest in.

[@davidgleeson1716]

Sounds like you could have a good case of mineral imbalances. I would have them checked out before taking any mind altering dugs.

[@sofiadvis]

How did u tell ur parents?

[@harikyoki]

I also experienced that in class. I got bored so easily. any assignment due had to be started right away such as an essay in two weeks bc i can't finish it in one day. it'll take me the entire 2 weeks.

[@mswitch936]

And then theres some of us who were diagnosed with ADHD as adults and realize that school makes a whole lot more sense now that we know why school didn’t make sense when we were younger

[@mayb3192]

I did this in my grade now (4th) and it worked amazingly. I didn’t do it before class but during it and I said I work better when standing so my teacher was able to raise my desk. As a minus though I was moved to the back so others could see. This so far is my best class in this school! 😊

[@treestub3665]

As a teacher, thank you for posting this! I love accommodating my students so they can learn in a way that works for them. It's so much easier to do this when they are up front and tell me what has worked for them. We still try our best to find out what works, but it is our dream to have a student who is cooperative with and seeks our accommodations for them.

[@Nina0837]

ive got medicine (methylphenidate) and this helps so so so much! i can focus on things, work fast and focused and i get a's and b's! the only thing is you cant feel hungry and your mood is rather boring. you mostly just sit there and listen ppl chatting instead of chatting.

[@acethesilli]

I take meds as well for it, it helps BUT when the hyperactivity kick in I go crazy on it

[@Nina0837]

@@acethesilli ye i dont really have ADHD i only have ADD which means im not that hyperactive

[@kittyroxs]

Oh wow your meds make you quiet? Mine (vyvanse) makes super chatty.

[@quincyhethey6220]

Oh hey we take the same medication lol. A lot of people don’t like the fact that you don’t feel hungry but it actually helped me with binge eating so I’m kind of grateful for it! But it’s so hard to get the meds refilled on time. They’re always out when I need more, even when I call like a week ahead for them!

[@Nina0837]

@@quincyhethey6220 ikrr they always ran out when you need them. especially on days where i have an important exsam or something i need to concentrate for 💀

[@aaliyahbuggg]

I had to cheat in school to pass because I always had a hard time staying focusing and was a daydreamer. Also, I was scared to get beaten with a belt if I came home with an F. Yup, that's my life, folks. I'm still pretty f'ed up

[@hellhound_haunt]

I struggled so much in school, even with accomodations. School just wasn't my thing, and it still isn't. But even though I came extremely close to failing highschool, I worked my ass off and ended up graduating with almost a 4.0. School is hard, but if you put effort into it and not give up, you'll get through it. Even if everyday feels like torture

[@Z.A.M.1359]

I had a math teacher that didn't consistently write the assignment down on the board, and he was so confused why I kept struggling with the homework part of class. I wasn't diagnosed, but he cared, and we had a meeting with him, my mom, and I. My mom realized how disorganized he was and pointed out to him that it was simply that he wasn't communicating the assignments effectively enough. He started getting better about being clear with what our homework was.

[@marabanara]

A lady going calling with her head uncovered- scandalous! 😂😂 But seriously, those pies look HEAVENLY!

[@carau7237]

Wow, this is amazing advice and you are blessed to have parents who helped you articulate yourself and taught you to self advocate 👏👏 I'm excited to see how this next generation proceeds into life with the tools to help them

[@dankborn1672]

This would have been really helpful for me. Thank you for sharing solutions to these problems, those with ADHD won’t make the same mistakes I did because of your teachings😊

[@caracrabtree715]

Growing up in the eighties I found that if I did super well in the things I was good at, it balanced out in my average to 85 when I didn’t do assignments like book reports, i also am very good at test taking and guessing right. I’m almost 50 now have had a torturous adult life and undiagnosed, when younger and trying to find out what was wrong they gave me antidepressants for anxiety that didn’t help, but eventually got rid of the little bit of ocd i had that motivated me to do some things

[@frenchpeepz]

My brother, my mom, and me have it (not my mom and brother any they grew out of it) but my brother told me, “sometimes if you just pretend you don’t have it, it can sometimes help” and it does for me at least

[@kittyroxs]

TY so much for acknowledging your privilege so those of us without privilege dont beat ourselves up so much.

[@bernadette_ri5270]

I remember that to study after doing my summaries towards "texts" in "hieroglyphics", that always worked for me

[@EmL-kg5gn]

My close friends did a lot to accommodate me even though we didn’t even have words for what was different about me. There’s no way I’d have finished high school if I was separated from them!!!! And besides, almost anyone I could’ve sat beside would’ve been a friend in no time. And I got even more distracted when I sat by myself because then I didn’t have anyone to help me by body doubling. Sitting at the back was usually best for me because I feel unsafe and get very distracted when I can’t easily see what’s going on around me. But my main issue at school was simply that I wasn’t being challenged anywhere near enough to stay engaged. I don’t say this to contradict you but just because what works for one person might not work for another, and it’s okay if it takes time to figure out which accommodations work for us!

[@isabellakirkpatrick5468]

Thank you so much this is going to help me so much I have never even thought about talking to the teacher one on one I always thought they would just see my IEP but they almost never do so thank you so much ❤

[@Themysticplantguy]

I so relate but my school didn’t support my adhd they just threw me in in house or just didn’t bother with me and it was hard k-12 I actually work as a vet tech now and I got my hiset(GED) with really good scores that I’m shocked about but it was during the pandemic when everything was online and I was able to actually be in my own space much more focused and at peace. Even now my old teachers go “ ohh wow look at you, I’m so proud of you I never would of thought you were be here “ like bruh come on ya didn’t support me I supported myself and till this day I look at my old teachers with their dogs and cats and smile because while they were talking about me behind my back in school negatively and about my life struggles like they did in the past as a bunch of immature adults that have ego issues so big a mountain has nothing on them. I choose to smile and give all the love to their fur babies and their fur Babies loves me so much and that my friends is was gets them upsets but hey you love and learn hence why I work with animals not people because people have done nothing more than disappointment me and treat me badly

[@xxjasper420xx5]

I swear being more open to all those peoples is better than the Bad feeling afterwards and you get a selfconfidence boost after this. With anxienty its hard i know. i didnt got even once a bad answer all the times

[@iza724]

It's true about the friends thing. I made one B, and regret it so bad to this day, exactly because I sat next to friends.

[@ishitashetty8499]

These tips works for me too especially when ur friend starts talking and u don't understand anything in that lecture and.... don't know what to do because they are ur only friend 🙁

[@mandyhunt5725]

Thank you for these tips and stuff 😊

[@Len..K]

If I couldn't sit next to my friend I would physically explode he keeps me sane lmao

[@TKpandartist]

THANKYOU SO MUTCH THIS WILL HELP SO MUCH I HAVE 3 MISSING ASINEMENTS AND NOT DOING WELL IN MY CLASSES SO I WILL TAKE UR ADVICE

[@HondaMom]

Mannnnn this comes at such a crucial time. I’m 39 decided to change my career path and go back to school to be an auto technician after working behind a desk for about a 20 years. Started out as a receptionist and worked my way up to corporate recruiting and I was BORED. Didn’t know I had ADHD until I was an adult and had already graduated high school with 65 average and 2 failed college attempts. I have a 3.85 GPA in school right now I’ve been sitting in the front of my class. 😂

[@itsnotif.itswhen]

Although I already completed undergraduate with a lot of struggles and did not discover my ADHD until 30, I’ve learned a lot about myself from this video, especially the part of visual learning. No wonder I enjoy online courses the most, but struggling so much with hands on job training that has no written instructions. Will continue to pursue higher education now that I understand what’s going on with me. Thank you!

[@radschele1815]

Yes, my mother always took care that i sit in front row. And made sure i was allowed to draw which helped me to listen. Some didn't like that, but i asked questions which were sincerely interesting to me and i knew the solutions. And was mostly quiet and non disturbing So, most of them were appeased

[@twfaucet]

I have adhd and it makes me the opposite of the quiet kid😭

[@jaysanchez6523]

I used to audiotape the major classes to ensure I didn’t miss anything and write down or take photo of all blackboard information. Also I used the examples in the book a lot. I missed A LOT of school so all this was necessary regardless of ADHD but helped with it. 😊

[@Literallyarealhuman]

You need an actual letter from the doctor now and has to be the doctor that diagnosed you or treating you well depending on the doctor themselves but they’re willing to do. It’s been a real struggle for me to get when I was in high school they didn’t require this my teachers just knew that I needed extra time, and that I clearly had ADHD

[@oliverdatsyuk3503]

I should have done this.

[@davidgleeson1716]

Always have your mineral levels checked before going on any mind altering dugs.

[@LanaKir3767]

I'm French and I didn't know I had ADHD until college. But I still got straight As in school except and Always in maths. Then in High school we started doing essays and it was downhill from that. I still got to prep school but there were even more essays but I liked learning a bunch of New things. Same in college in English Studies but now that I have to do a MA Thesis and I barely started I see that I reached my limit. I dont know what I Can Do anymore.

[@OneOfThoseMaddies]

I get good grades because whenever I zone out and I don’t know what the teacher said and the project, I just ask my friends or classmates next to me.

[@Abigails_Version]

Me having ADHD and likes to sit near friends: Welp, this is going to suck

[@Maryam-cd1bq]

What is making me frustrated is that I know I have Adhd, because of self-diagnosis and remembering all these childhood experiences, I just don't know how to start the official diagnosis process. I'm a hard worker but I'm really struggling in college, and this is currently affecting my emotional well-being because I'm trying to really do my best but at the same time, I'm feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

[@jackiemyers2773]

I wish I knew when I was in school.

[@OnlineCitizenTV]

I grew up with ADHA. All the people said around me is: he’s smart but careless

[@S30.10]

Tysm for this!! I get okay grades atm (I’m in year 7) and I also have adhd 😊😊

[@C0nfetti]

im in eighth grade with all As and i mostly just work for six hours then get no free time, even in the weekends because of how much i have to study 💀

[@direwolf69]

Online class fuc*ed me up . I couldn't concentrate and for the first time my grades were really bad last to last year

[@maddicattyryan]

Im not diagnosed with adhd but the symptoms are all there, i dont wanna say i have it because thats just self diagnosing myself. Also i told my therapist at the time she was like free and came to the school to talk to me. She only said "you dont seem like you have adhd." And nothing further happened. I was in 6th grade im going to 8th now

[@subjectdelta7210]

i would just get ignored when i spoke up and they would just tell me the same lessons over and over again long after i got it as if i was an idiot. 80%+ scores that outdid everyone else and treated like garbage by some teachers who didn’t understand what it was

I have rly bad adhd and my mom always says I just have a "touch" of it but idk if she understands how it works and I don't get much help and it just makes my anxiety worse which makes my adhd works and I try in school but I'm still failing and it's really hard to focus.. I forget literally everything and have a million notebooks filled with notes to remember things and I'm very organized but I get distracted so much. Idk it's bad😂

[@Andromeda_3005]

I have adhd and need to use earplugs for sensory needs but my parents always say it’s normal so I’m not diagnosed but I’ve qualified for every symptom in girls all my life and I always notice it but my mum just thinks adhd means that I’m constantly hyper and that since I’m a straight A student I can’t have something like adhd

[@tyiababi]

I am trying to find the right accommodations for my 5 year old. My daughter gets in trouble for wanting to sit in the front. Its frustrating

[@GenderNotFound._.]

My life hack is better. Just hyper focus on school and cry every time you fail to please everybody around you. Worked for me. I'm still the best preforming student in my year and I'm stil mentally ill 👍

Yeah if u actually are in the lower procentage of people with ADHD that get the diagnos as a child. More common in boys.
