What details does a clinician usually include in a letter supporting workplace or school accommodations?

So workplace and school accomadations are a specific bit of practice for Occupational health, and while we can advise and offer our support we cannot dictate to an employer or school .typical information we would include is: • Clinician details: name, professional role/registration, organisation, and contact details. • Patient details: name and sometimes date of birth or other identifier. • Diagnosis: confirmation that the person has ADHD, if the clinician is able and willing to disclose it. • Clinical basis: briefly indicate that the diagnosis has been assessed/established, without unnecessarily including confidential medical history. • Functional difficulties: how ADHD affects the person in the relevant setting, for example: o sustaining attention during lengthy tasks or meetings o organising and prioritising work o managing time and deadlines o working in distracting environments o processing or remembering verbal instructions o switching between tasks • o maintaining concentration during exams or other assessments • The resulting disadvantage: ideally, explain what happens without support—for example, difficulty demonstrating knowledge in timed assessments or difficulty completing tasks in an open-plan environment. • Recommended adjustments: specific, practical measures linked to those difficulties. Depending on the setting, this might include written instructions, breaking larger tasks into stages, reduced-distraction workspace, additional exam time, rest breaks, assistive technology, or flexibility around scheduling. • Duration/review: whether the recommendations are expected to be ongoing and when they should be reviewed. • Clinician's opinion: wording such as “In my clinical opinion, these adjustments would help reduce the functional difficulties associated with ADHD.”
