What do I need for the school to recognize my child as a student with specific educational support needs?
It is very important that the family share all the information with the school and provide a copy of the report specifying their child's ADHD diagnosis. Family-school collaboration is essential to ensure that each student's needs are met in a personalized way.
Generally, the Educational and Psychopedagogical Guidance Team (EOEP) will be responsible for assessing whether a student has educational support needs and, therefore, requires educational attention different from the ordinary one.
This organization will assess your child's needs and determine how their specific requirements should be addressed (for example, if they need more time during exams, to sit in the front row, etc.). It's important to keep in mind that not all students diagnosed with ADHD have specific educational support needs .
