Jan 6, 2026

Discover practical strategies for children with ADHD and dyslexia to overcome classroom barriers, improve test-taking abilities, and build essential executive function skills through accommodations and supportive learning environments.

Best quote from Test Success for ADHD & Dyslexia

Accommodations aren't about making tests easier—they're about removing barriers that prevent kids from showing what they actually know. When we provide extended time or read questions aloud, we're not changing the academic standards; we're changing how students access those standards.
