• Families with adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) reported greater difficulties with remote learning practices, according to a recent survey. 31% of parents of adolescents with ADHD with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 Plan report remote learning to be very challenging, compared to 18% of parents of adolescents with ADHD but no EIP/504 Plan and only 4% of parents of adolescents with neither ADHD nor an IEP/504 Plan.
