What classroom accommodations are available for children with ADHD?
Classroom accommodations vary from school to school but typically include individual time with a teacher to ensure all content is understood, providing headphones or allowing music to be played to help focus attention, and/or more time on tests.

If your 12-year-old son is doing poorly in school should you discipline him for bad grades?
Probably he needs some discipline, which refers to structure, rules and instruction rather than punishment. People tend to improve their behavior if the encouragement is positive, rather than shame-based. Talk to his teachers to see what they see as the issues in his schoolwork. Bad behavior can also reflect his not being able to do the work, so he may be avoiding making it happen. You can request testing to find out if there are deficiencies in what he is able to do in English, math and if he has learning issues (language skills? gross and fine motor?) Do not rush to the ADHD sequence until you have checked everything else. I also had my kids go through the Sensory Integration testing (privately) through an Occupational Therapist and the information we gained gave us direction for helping them develop coping skills. Children who are getting enough activity (sports, band and others), a balanced diet and enough sleep (remove the computer and TV from his room) generally handle the change from elementary school to middle school better. It may be hard, but show that you love him and try to find some activities to give the time you have together quality time getting to know one another.
