I've heard people talk about asking for accommodations at work for their ADHD but I have not really heard of any examples of accommodations that have been given for this reason.

If you have accommodations at work, can you share what they are and if you feel like they have been helpful?

Since no one has given you an actual list of accommodations, here you go:

  • more frequent but shorter breaks
  • standing desk
  • work from home (if allowed)
  • noise cancelling headphones/earbuds
  • instructions for tasks clearly written and defined
  • extended deadlines / dedicated time to work on specific tasks
  • flexible schedule
  • private / quieter workspace
  • switching positions to another role that better suits you

It's basically anything within reasons to help you successfully do your job. Talk to your HR about ADA accomodations.If you are diagnosed with ADHD, you have the legal right to these accomodations.
