From ADHD to Tourette Syndrome: Supporting Students with Social Disorders in Higher Education

This 113-page pamphlet helps disability service providers understand, manage and accommodate students with disabilities that affect their social functioning as well as their academic success.

With an in-depth look at anorexia, ADHD, Asperger's syndrome, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias and more, you gain insights into the symptoms, unique problems, potential accommodations, and possible behavioral scenarios students with these disabilities present.

Plus, you get DS providers' proven strategies to help these students succeed in the classroom and in the campus community, along with tips to help professors and campus officials understand and work with them. Frequently asked questions for each disability provide even more real-life guidance on handling specific situations.

Plus, plain-English summaries of OCR letters and judicial decisions highlight rulings on institutions' actions regarding admissions, accommodations, behavior, dismissal and withdrawal of students with specific disabilities that cause social issues - so you can make legally sound decisions.
