Abstract
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), post-secondary students with ADHD are entitled to apply for classroom and test-related accommodations. By all accounts, an ever-increasing number of students with ADHD are availing themselves of this legal option (Gordon, Lewandowski, & Keiser, 1998). The most common request is for extra time and a distraction-free environment while taking exams (Zuriff, 2000). The justification often offered for affording extra time is that students with ADHD, because they purportedly process information slowly, will take more time than other students to complete timed tasks. The argument is also presented that inherently distractible students will fare better in a distraction-reduced environment.
