Michelle,
Students with ADHD have a label and a reason for their inattentiveness or lack of focus on detail. It does not mean that they are, by definition, more or less likely to provide quality care than their nondisabled peers who simply aren't good at the job! The reason we provide intensive instruction to potential professionals, including hours of practicum experience, is to determine how all students do in practice. If they cannot perform the necessary tasks in a safe and efficient manner, they should not be graduating from the program. THAT doesn't change, with or without disability.
