Abstract

As diagnoses increase, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have come to the forefront of popular understanding. Subsequently, much discussion exists concerning the legal and social ramifications for those who have ADD or ADHD in the workplace. Although many people with ADD or ADHD will not qualify for special treatment under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the absence of legal requirements guiding management does not mean that managers’ responsibilities end. The greatest task for managers of ADD/ADHD employees will be working with their conditions, rather than against them, in order to foster efficiency and productivity in the workplace. Management solutions for employees with ADD and ADHD are compiled in light of their positions as valuable components of today’s workforce.
