Learning Disabilities / ADHD Services
The Academic Enrichment Center (AEC) provides accommodations and assistance for matriculated students with documented learning disabilities (LD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Students who meet University admissions requirements (i.e., are otherwise qualified to attend the University) are required to submit appropriate documentation so that the University can determine whether they qualify for reasonable accommodations.

Learning Disabilities/ADHD staff work in conjunction with other AEC staff members, University service professionals, and faculty members to provide necessary help for students with diagnosed LD and ADHD. The AEC also works jointly with the Center for Counseling and Student Development to serve students diagnosed with ADHD and with the Office of the ADA Coordinator when a documented LD or ADHD co-occurs with a physical or medical disability.

In order to be eligible for accommodations, students must submit:

• an AEC Intake Form and Request for Accommodations form
• documentation that meets the University's guidelines from an appropriately licensed diagnosing professional
• results of recent testing (within 3 years)
• explicit statement of the disability
• recommendations for accommodations which are consistent with test results
  

A thorough explanation of the requirements for documentation is contained within the LD Documentation Guidelines for the Diagnosing Professional and the ADHD Documentation Guidelines for the Diagnosing Professional.

Documentation is reviewed by the University's DRC (Documentation Review Committee). Results of this review will be provided as soon as they are available. If found eligible for services, the student must meet with a staff member for discussion about accommodations and for orientation.
