Hi Leah. Have you googled 504 Accomodations for ADHD? Also, the staff may
have lists to pick accomodations from that they are provided by the state
board of Education re: ADA. I always asked for as much as I could:

Strategic seating
Quiet place in room to go (like bean bag chair depending upon his age)
Fidgets from occupational therapist
Participation in a social skills group with counselor or person who will
oversee his 504
Extended time on tests
Frequent breaks during testing
If handwriting issues, ask for ability to write in the test booklet

Also, I found that if I shared my observations re: my childıs difficulties,
the staff would suggest the accomodations for me. For instance, I would say
³I notice that my son frequently comes home with papers that are not
complete. This concerns me, especially when it comes to tests.² In this
way, they are stating that they can do this and that for my son. Then it is
a win-win situation.

Good luck. I am sure things will go fine.
