Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Studies conducted in the areas of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and students support services at the postsecondary level are very limited. Therefore, there is a need to conduct a study that examines the effects of supports services on students with ADHD. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of students with ADHD and their ability to access higher education. Method: Purposeful sampling of 10 students with ADHD enrolled at community college was selected to interview individually. Results: Research findings illuminate the complex ways that students with ADHD access higher education. Conclusion: Community colleges should increase outreach for students with ADHD and there should be continued training to instructors on how to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
