Documentation of Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD or ADHD)

• A diagnosis by a physician knowledgeable about ADD and ADHD in adults*

• A copy of a prescription for medication for ADD.

• A summary of the functional impact of the condition for the student, particularly on activities associated with learning and college-level academic pursuits (i.e. How does the condition impact or limit the life-activity of learning? Does medication substantially limit the limiting effect? Are there side effects experienced by this individual that effect his or her ability to study and to learn?).

• Psycho-education assessment reports, if there is an associated or secondary Learning Disability (see guidelines for L.D. documentation under "Documentation of Learning Disabilities Should Include").

• *DSM IV: Used in the Medical Profession, Chapman University accepts documentation using the diagnostic definitions as provided by the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual IV for defining medical conditions, such as ADD/ADHD.
