Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Students requesting academic accommodations from the Liberty University Online Office of Disability Accommodation Support are required to submit a notification of need form. In addition, they are required to submit documentation of a disability in order to verify their eligibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and ODAS policies. The evaluator’s report must document a disability as defined by the ADA as “a substantial limitation of a major life function.”
Note: Our office will use the official classification from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to discuss this condition, although we understand that the more broad nomenclature of Attention Deficit Disorder is frequently used.
