The purpose of this study is to investigate how an elementary school works with additional adaptations for students with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder and how pupils with either of above diagnoses experience teaching and how it affects their learning. Another aim is to show which expectations the teachers have regarding the special education teachers´ responsibilities towards diagnosed students. The methods that are used in this study are the following: a survey directed towards teachers, interviews with teachers and students and classroom observations. The study indicates that teachers need more knowledge about both diagnoses but mainly about autism spectrum disorder. The role of the special education teacher needs to be more specified in relations to teachers. The students need lessons and teaching that are engaging and teachers that show interest and respect.
