SansSerif: Kids with ADHD usually just qualify for time accommodations. Processing speed can be an issue with kids like this–they know the answer, it just takes them time to pull it out of their brains. Other accommodations available suit kids with other issues: keyboard use for kids with handwriting/graphomotor issues, for example. Time accommodations are the most common and are typically “time and a half”. It can be a mixed blessing if your kid has stamina issues. Usually the testing centers group all the time accommodation kids together so that the proctor only reports their time.
