Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects children, adolescents, and adults. It is characterized by problems with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. ADHD has been increasingly recognized as a challenging adult diagnosis, especially for students enrolled in college courses. Students with ADHD may have a significantly lower mean grade point average, be more likely to be on academic probation, and report significantly more academic problems. However, with the appropriate accommodations and treatment, college students will be more likely to succeed in their course assignments, including tests and written assignments.
