Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

My son has ADHD-Inattentive as well as Central Audio Processing Disorder, as diagnosed by an audiologist. We are updating his IEP and incorporating some accommodations in it. Here are some of the accommodations they came up with:preferential seating repeating and rephrasing instructions use of visual cues instructions/assignments written on board modify homework use of study guide peer tutorAre there any others that I should add to this list that would be helpful in the processing of auditory information. He also has langugage delays that show up in weak critical thinking skills and reasoning skills. Any ideas for those deficits?Jackie

Jackie, I know the ADHD may make your child sceem impatient. However, what about extra time as a accomodations. My daughter is dx, CAPD and dyslexic. I think now maybe ADD inattentive type, but not confirmed. She has extra time and makes a difference in her test grades and standardize test results. With NO extra time she bombs out on testing. With extra time she looks to be gifted! Just a thought Cindy M.

Dear Jackie: How about individualized homework/classwork assignments. Our teachers adapt or shorten the work so that they know daughter is getting the concept of the assignment but it’s not as long. ie: 1/2 the math page. We’ve also done this with spelling 1 less repetitious assignment for the weekly spelling packet. And reading pages required for the semester have been adapted, book reports required as normal. These are to make sure she’s learning and being graded on the content not just the quantitiy. your son will be a 4th grader next year, might also suggested adjusted time for “timed math test’s”. When our kids were learning the times tables this was a weekly problem for us.My son has ADHD-Inattentive as well as Central Audio Processing
