With medication and behavioral strategies, students can generally learn to manage these symptoms and focus and process information competently. It is important for students with neurological disorders who are preparing to enter UK register with the Disability Resource Center (DRC) soon after acceptance. The DRC can play a vital role in providing students with information, strategies, other campus resources, and support to improve their efforts in making these transitions and completing their educational degree programs. Students must provide current documentation of their diagnosis to the DRC. This will usually be in the form of a psychological report, neurological report, or medical statement and the documentation must be signed by a qualified licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, neuropsychologist or relevant medical physician.
