Student Bio:
My research project is about ADHD because of my own ADHD. I’m also interested in becoming a psychiatrist, so I’d like to have a little more knowledge on how mental health is accommodated for.

Poster Title: Analyzing the extent to which ADHD is accommodated for in the workplace
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, and accommodations given in the workplace. Research was done on the definition of ADHD, how that definition has changed over time, medication used for ADHD, treatment options for ADHD, comorbidities of ADHD, ADHD in children, ADHD in adults, causes of ADHD, and diagnostic trends of ADHD. In order to perform this study, a survey was sent out to several participants. The survey asked several questions along the lines of what type of ADHD the participant was diagnosed with, how severe the participant’s ADHD is, and what symptoms they face. They were also asked questions about their job, such as what type of job they have, how long they’ve been working there, and what accommodations they are given. He or she is inquired about whether or not a different occupation would be favorable if accommodations were given.
The results proved that ADHD is not properly accommodated for most people, but bosses try to be understanding and patient. Some people feel judged and misunderstood because of their ADHD, others don’t feel as though their ADHD causes them too much struggles.
