I have a few
questions about support for ADD students, if people have time to
respond:
1. does anyone
use a checklist such as David Grant's for screening?
No
2. do you use
medical doctors for diagnosis/identification, or have you got EPs who are
prepared to assess for it?
screening is a
medicalised observation and documentation
3. have you got
support tutors who are able/prepared to work with ADDers?
Yes
4. have you had
any demand for staff development session on ADD?
No
5. do you think
HE in general is responding well to ADD in this country?
There is a good
general attitude to support people what ever the disability. However,
as the pple of reasonableness that is shared socially does not necessary
follow the legal definition, some ADD people may not come into the range
of what is acceptable.
