The help for ADD students is stuff like untimed tests and getting to take the tests in otherwise-empty rooms so there is no distraction. I can also borrow laptops to take notes and/or get a volunteer note-taker. Thankfully, note-taking is not one of my problems. *lol* Matter of fact, I focus much better that way. I have to knit or play with silly putty (depending on the teacher) to focus in non-note-heavy classes.
My general problem is I forget to ask for accomodation by any individual teacher until halfway through the term when I'm flailing, and then I'm too embarrassed. I don't know what PSU has for accomodations, but I think they require the full neuro-psych workup as opposed to just a doctor's note, and that kinda sucks.
