Documentation Requirements and Guidelines
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
In order for students at Montana State University-Great Falls College of Technology to receive disability-related support services on campus, current documentation of disability must be on file with the Disability Services Coordinator.
Documentation for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) must be provided by an impartial practitioner who has been trained in the assessment of ADHD and is experienced in assessing the needs of adult learners.
In order to assist Disability Services in collaborating with students to determine appropriate accommodations, we recommend that documentation include the following:
- Documentation for eligibility must be current, preferably within the last three years.
- A summary of assessment procedures and evaluation instruments used to make the diagnosis, and a narrative summary, including all scores, which supports the diagnosis.
- Medical information relating to the student's needs, including the impact of
medication on the student's ability to meet the demands of the postsecondary
environment.
- A statement of the functional impact or limitations of the disability on learning
or other major life activities and the degree to which it impacts the learning
context for which accommodations are being requested.
Further assessment by an appropriate professional may be required of co-existing learning disabilities or other disabling conditions are indicated. If you have any questions regarding the provision of documentation, please contact the Disability Services Coordinator at 771-4311.
