What are examples of classroom accommodations in a 504 Plan for ADHD? 

Understanding real-world ADHD 504 classroom examples can help parents and teachers visualise what meaningful support looks like. A well-designed 504 Plan offers practical, daily adjustments that allow students with ADHD to stay focused, feel included, and manage their behaviour more effectively. 

These accommodations don’t change what students are expected to learn. Instead, they remove barriers by adapting how the content is delivered, how students engage with it, or how they show what they’ve learned. 

Common Classroom Adjustments for ADHD 

Here are some typical learning adjustments, seating strategies, and behaviour supports often included in 504 Plans: 

Preferential seating  

Placing the student near the front or away from distractions supports attention and engagement. 

Visual schedules and reminders  

These tools help structure the day, reduce anxiety, and improve task transitions. 

Extended time for tasks  

Extra time on assignments or tests allows students to work at their own pace without added pressure. 

Movement breaks  

Short, structured breaks support self-regulation and help reduce restlessness. 

Behaviour cueing and positive reinforcement  

Using non-verbal cues and reward systems encourages self-awareness and positive choices. 

In conclusion, these ADHD 504 classroom examples show how small, targeted changes can make a big difference helping students stay on track and thrive in a supportive learning environment.
