How challenging is it for kids with ADHD/ASD - specifically the 100 min lessons? We have EHCP.

A 100-minute lesson can be quite demanding for some children with ADHD or ASD, particularly with attention, sensory needs and regulation. With an EHCP, the school should consider suitable adjustments such as movement breaks, chunked activities and a flexible approach to learning.

As their attention is not very intact so it is difficult for them to attend a lesson of 100 minutes. Kids with ADHD are also hyperactive so it becomes more difficult for them to stay seated calmly for this long.
