  Case: ADHD
A student approaches you and tells you that he has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). He can't take the test within the time allotted, can't turn in assignments on time, or can't take notes, etc. He is requesting special consideration. Other students in the class overhear your conversation and start to whisper among themselves. What do you do as a teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask that the student brings in a diagnosis report by a doctor and explain to the class that assignments and note taking still needs to be done to the rest of the class.
