Why Modifications Matter
Modifications are about adapting expectations and environments to match
the unique needs of children with ADHD. These changes empower them to succeed while reducing stress and fostering a sense of accomplishment.

Russell Barkley emphasizes that to effectively support children with ADHD, interventions must occur “at the point of performance.” This means providing real-time support during tasks where children with ADHD struggle most. Often, they understand what to do but need external aids and environmental modifications to help them apply that knowledge consistently. By offering direct support at the moment, such as breaking tasks down, providing reminders, or adjusting the environment, children with ADHD are better equipped to succeed in real-time situations, both academically and behaviorally. Modifications involve changing the environment or altering tasks to make them more manageable for children with ADHD. These adjustments go beyond accommodations, addressing challenges by simplifying or redesigning expectations to set children up for success.
