Providing Support for College Students With Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Through Disability-Informed Mentorship
Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. Students with learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (LD–ADHD) face disability-related challenges that affect the ability to meet college challenges and everyday life demands. We examined the LD–ADHD-related knowledge needs of mentors in providing holistic support for undergraduate mentees with LD–ADHD. Findings illustrate specific areas of disability-related knowledge important for incorporation into the development of disability-informed mentorship interventions for supporting the occupational performance of undergraduates with LD–ADHD.
