Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

We support students with Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder AD(H)D.

Support offered

If you have ADHD/ADD, your Disability Adviser will discuss your needs with you and provide support through a learning contract.

Learning Contract support may include:

  • adjustments to groupwork and presentations
  • extensions on coursework for disability-related reasons

We can support you to apply for funded support, such as:

  • support from a one-to-one Study Skills Tutor
  • support from a one-to-one Specialist Mentor to help with motivation, organisation and to help keep you on track with your work.
  • equipment and assistive software to support notetaking, reading, writing and planning.

Evidence requirements

We can accept any of the following as evidence of ADHD/ADD for a learning contract:

  • a diagnostic report from an ADHD specialist
  • a doctor/consultant letter
  • a working diagnosis. We can accept a letter that confirms you have been referred for a diagnostic assessment.

If you can't provide any of the above documents, you could ask your medical professional to complete a disability evidence form (PDF, 203.8KB).
