Perry, Susan N.; Franklin, Kathy K.
Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v19 n1 p94-109 Sum 2006
This study explored how undergraduate students diagnosed with AD/HD remain in college. Using a qualitative research design from a grounded theory perspective, the researchers captured the personal stories of 10 college students from two universities similar in location, size, and liberal arts tradition. The findings included themes related to attitudes about their diagnosis, adapting to college, and recommendations for students, college personnel, and parents. (Contains 2 tables.)
