Being diagnosed with ADHD will bring many disciplinary and environmental changes for children. In the classroom, a child may be given extra time to complete homework, projects and exams, or even granted exemptions if there are extreme reactions to pressure. Children are frequently allowed to disengage from the usual classroom activities and quietly do their preferred activities.
At home, a child with ADHD will frequently receive more attention from their parents, and be allowed more leeway in performing duties, participating in family activities and many other things that would be regarded as “normal” behavior.
