How often should I follow-up on accommodation progress? 

Regular ADHD accommodation follow-up is essential to ensure your child’s support remains effective and up to date. While there’s no universal rule, a good starting point is to check in formally once a term with informal updates happening more often, especially if concerns arise. 

Effective ADHD accommodation follow-up involves more than ticking boxes. It’s about open parent-school communication, shared observations, and a willingness to adapt as needed. If something isn’t working, or your child’s needs shift, timely support updates help avoid small issues becoming bigger ones. 

When and Why to Check In 

Tracking accommodation progress ensures strategies stay useful and relevant. Here’s how to manage progress reviews: 

Termly review meetings  

These provide a set point to assess what’s working and make any necessary tweaks. Always ask for clear examples and outcomes. 

Informal check-ins  

A quick email or meeting with the teacher can flag issues early, helping you stay in the loop. 

After major changes  

New school years, classroom moves, or changes in behaviour are key times to schedule a review. 

When your child speaks up  

If your child says something isn’t helping or is uncomfortable take that seriously and initiate a follow-up. 

In conclusion, consistent ADHD accommodation follow-up helps ensure support plans are living documents not just paperwork built to grow with your child.
