Much is available in the context of disability related accommodations for college students. The use of Note Takers is beneficial for students with Attention Deficit Disorders, Learning Disorders, and several other disabilities. Same goes for position in class--particularly for students with Attention Deficit Disorders, Cognitive Disorders, visual impairments, and others. Your in-house Disabled Students program can probably give you anecdotal information--nothing confidential, mind you--but at least relevant to the student population at Boston University.
