Our School Offers Specialized Instruction for Students with ADHD
We offer both Individualized Education Program (IEP) Plans and 504 Plans based on the severity of the student’s learning disability. Students with more severe cases will be admitted into an IEP Plan. Students with less severe symptoms will be given a 504 Plan, which allows for special accommodations such as longer testing time, a note-taking assistant, special seating, and/or allowance of technology to assist in learning.
Three Types of ADHD

Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
