Working with Disability Services is our 9-5. And in the conversations we have with support staff, we’re often asked about ADHD in college students.
The number of students with ADHD seeking support is on the rise. In fact, ADHD now accounts for 25% of all conditions reported to Disability Service departments. So getting to grips with the condition and the difficulties it creates is the natural starting point for understanding how best to serve these students.
Of course, ADHD and ADD are separate diagnoses with differing symptoms. However, we’ve paired them together here as there are many commonalities between these conditions.
We want to make it easier to communicate the issues affected students and support staff face.
