What workplace accommodations help adults with ADHD?

Helpful supports include structured deadlines, task lists, noise‑reduced zones or headphones, and meeting agendas. Digital tools for reminders and planning can improve reliability.

Ask for written instructions with clear due dates and a single point of contact. Break large projects into milestones with check‑ins and acceptance criteria so you know exactly what finished means.

Reduce context switching. Batch similar tasks together and limit concurrent priorities to the top three. Use short daily stand‑ups to align and remove blockers.

Create a low‑distraction space when possible. If an office or quiet room is not available, use noise reduction headphones and set focus blocks on shared calendars.

For meetings, ask for an agenda in advance and a short summary of decisions and next steps. Capture these in the task system immediately after the meeting.

Local laws and employer policies vary. Human resources can explain available processes confidentially and what documentation is needed from a clinician.
