St. Petersburg College recognizes the importance of equal access for all students. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the College and its Office of Services for Students with Disabilities seeks to ensure that admission, academic programs, support services, student activities, and campus facilities are accessible to and usable by students who document a qualifying disability with the College. Reasonable accommodations are available to students who: * are otherwise qualified for admission to the College * identify themselves to appropriate College personnel * provide acceptable and qualifying documentation to the College. It is the student’s responsibility to provide notice of the nature of the disability to the College and to assist in identifying appropriate and effective accommodation. Students must personally identify the need, provide supporting diagnostic test results and professional evaluations, participate in planning services, and give adequate notice in requesting accommodation. A Counselor/Learning Specialist in the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (OSSD) is assigned to oversee services on each SPC campus. Made possible through a grant from the Department of Education.

you’re right, this makes people with ADD look annoying and stupid. it’s quite insulting as someone who suffers from it myself. I was the same as you in class, very quite and would ask for extra help when I needed it. I was not rude and never shouted out like that.
All this video did was reinforce the notion that people (like me) are loud disruptive and annoying. I have ADD you want to know how I would be in this class? I’d sit in the back record the lecture, be quiet and take the bext notes I could. After class I’d ask the teacher some questions: like confirming the amount of homework assigned.
