To identify under what circumstances a university student should be allowed academic accommodation for ADHD. To frame an evidence-based policy for use in Brazil based on a worldwide experience.
We reviewed the literature to acquire information on what documents are commonly required by disability services before accommodation for ADHD is made (including malingering detection). We scrutinized the eligibility criteria of the best universities worldwide. Renowned experts in the field and national stakeholders were consulted.
We found no international standard for the assessment of students with ADHD who request academic accommodation. Even renowned institutions worldwide differ from one another in their approaches to academic accommodation on the grounds of ADHD. We propose a national unified set of criteria for Brazilian universities, which could generalize internationally.
Rigorous assessment is paramount for aiding students with disabilities while preventing ineligible students gaining an unfair advantage. Higher education institutions nationwide and beyond may benefit from adopting a unified set of criteria for eligibility to ADHD accommodation programs.
确定在何种情况下应允许大学生因注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）获得学业便利。基于全球经验制定一项适用于巴西的循证政策。
我们查阅文献，以获取关于在为ADHD提供学业便利之前（包括诈病检测）残疾服务机构通常要求提供哪些文件的信息。我们仔细审查了全球最佳大学的资格标准。咨询了该领域的知名专家和国家利益相关者。
我们发现对于请求学业便利的ADHD学生的评估没有国际标准。即使是全球知名机构，在基于ADHD提供学业便利的方式上也各不相同。我们为巴西大学提出一套全国统一的标准，该标准可以在国际上推广。
严格评估对于帮助残疾学生同时防止不合格学生获得不公平优势至关重要。全国乃至其他国家的高等教育机构可能会受益于采用一套统一的ADHD学业便利计划资格标准。
