Abstract | A review of the research and legal literature summarizes the status of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) under school law. Following a brief introduction, discussion of ADHD as a disability notes the impact of ADHD on overall functioning and provides a table of diagnostic criteria for subtypes of ADHD. The following section focuses on three relevant federal statutes: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B. The major portion of the paper discusses ten responsibilities of the states in implementing eligibility requirements for ADHD. These are: (1) locate, identify, and evaluate children disabled by ADHD; (2) make available a free appropriate public education; (3) develop and implement an appropriate individualized education program; (4) involve parents in decision making; (5) educate children in the least restrictive environment; (6) follow procedural safeguards; (7) ensure that professional personnel meet qualification standards; (8) include children with ADHD in state performance goals; (9) appropriately include disabled children in assessments; and (10) monitor suspension and expulsion rates.
