At least one in five students with ADHD do not receive school services despite experiencing significant academic and social impairment, according to a recent study.
Middle and high school students with ADHD generally receive fewer support services (other than Section 504 educational support plans) than do elementary school students. Students from non-English speaking families and low socioeconomic backgrounds struggle to get any support services at all, the study also reveals.
