"Administering an exam used to be straightforward: All a college professor needed was an open room and a stack of blue books. At many American universities, this is no longer true."
"Professors now struggle to accommodate the many students with an official disability designation."
"more young people [are] getting diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression."
"Universities [are] making the process of getting accommodations easier."
Exam administration and classroom management have become more complex at many American universities as the number of students with official disability designations has grown. Professors increasingly struggle to provide appropriate accommodations for students with ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, and other invisible disabilities. Rising diagnoses contribute to higher demand for accommodations, and institutional policies or processes around obtaining accommodations are a contested factor. At the same time, obtaining diagnostic evaluations and formal documentation remains costly and burdensome for many families, and accommodations that students receive often fail to meet their needs or expectations.
