Welcome!
Learning at Duke can be a challenge. Even more so if you are a student with a learning or attention challenge. Duke is committed to creating an inclusive campus that provides students with learning and attention challenges the resources they need to succeed to their highest potential.
The ARC provides services and resources for you to learn more about how we can work with you to support your learning. Some of those services include:
-
- Learning Consultations
- ADHD Coaching
If you'd like to make an appointment to meet and talk with one of our learning consultants, you can do that here.
Check out our resources where you will find articles and information on learning and strategies for managing college with ADHD, ND or LD challenges, and for strategies and tools for Time Management, general Study Strategies, and preparing for Exams.
Students can meet with any learning consultant including our Learning Consultant, Neurodiversity Specialist who provides individual academic support services for students with learning disabilities and other psychological and/or neuro-cognitive difficulties (e.g., ADHD, executive function challenges, and psychological challenges that impacting learning). As part of the initial learning consultation, students will explore strategies they can immediately implement regardless of testing and/or diagnosis, and will be directed to the appropriate resource as necessary. Students will be able to meet as often as each week with a learning consultant for support with both course specific challenges and tailored learning strategies.
Students who are seeking an ADHD evaluation may contact the CAPS Referral Services Coordinator for a list of local providers who accept Duke insurance, or they may visit their primary care doctor or psychiatrist. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the Student Disability Access Office (SDAO) to confirm the requirements for accommodations and for information related to their unique situations. The Duke Psychology Clinic is a campus resource for a limited number of students seeking services for a range of psychological and adjustment difficulties.
