Table 3. Timing of Implementation of Accommodations as a Function of Timing of Identification of Need for ADHD Accommodations (N=143).

	Timing of implementation of accommodations, n (% within timing of identification of need) 2
Timing of i dentification of need	Responsive (1 month or less)	Extended/ protracted (more than 1 month)	Total
Early/proactive	38 (97.4)a	1 (2.6)b	39 (100)
Reactive	83 (79.8)a	21 (20.2)b	104 (100)
Total1	121	22	143

Note. Early/proactive, during interview process or during orientation; Reactive, after a critical event or after milestones evaluation; respondents who chose “other” for the timing of identification question were categorized as missing.

¹Among programs that had identified learners who needed accommodations, 84.6% (n=121) implemented accommodations within 1 month, χ²goodness of fit (1, N=143)=68.54, P<.001.

²The difference in timing of implementation of accommodations depended on the timing of identification of need, χ² test of independence (1, N=143)=6.77, P=.009. Regardless of when programs typically identified the need for accommodations, they tended to engage in responsive rather than protracted implementation of accommodations. However, this difference was larger for programs that identified the need for the accommodations early/proactively than for programs that tended to identify the need for accommodations reactively. Within each category of timing of identification of need, cells with different subscripts (_{a, b}) differ significantly from each other at the .05 level.
