Finding the right educational environment for students with ADHD can be transformative. This residential school application template is designed specifically for specialized boarding schools that support students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, executive function challenges, and related learning differences.

Comprehensive Assessment for Student Success

This application goes beyond traditional enrollment forms by incorporating critical screening components that help match students with the appropriate level of support. The form includes executive function screening questions, structured environment needs assessment, and detailed medication management coordination—all essential elements for creating an individualized education plan that sets students up for success.

Built for Educational Institutions and Families

Whether you're an admissions director, special education coordinator, or school counselor at a therapeutic boarding school, this Paperform template streamlines the entire application process. Families appreciate the clear, compassionate approach that helps them articulate their child's needs, while schools receive the detailed information necessary to make informed enrollment decisions.

The form collects essential information including:

• Student background and academic history with focus on ADHD diagnosis and treatment timeline
• Executive function screening covering organization, time management, emotional regulation, and task initiation
• Structured environment needs assessment to determine appropriate support levels
• Medication management coordination including current prescriptions, dosing schedules, and healthcare provider information
• Parent/guardian insights on what accommodations have been most effective
• Emergency contacts and medical information for safe residential placement

Seamless Integration with Your Enrollment Workflow

Paperform's conditional logic ensures families only see questions relevant to their situation, making the application feel personal rather than overwhelming. You can route applications to different admissions counselors based on grade level or support needs, automatically send confirmation emails with next steps, and even collect application fees securely through integrated payment processing.

For schools managing multiple programs or satellite campuses, Paperform's workspace features let you customize this template for different age groups or specialization areas while maintaining consistent branding and data collection standards.

Automate Follow-Up and Coordination

Once an application is submitted, Stepper can automatically trigger your admissions workflow—scheduling campus tours, requesting transcripts and psychological evaluations, coordinating with referring therapists or educational consultants, and updating your student information system. This automation ensures no application falls through the cracks during busy enrollment periods.

If your enrollment process requires families to sign enrollment agreements, treatment consent forms, or financial responsibility documents, Papersign lets you send these for secure eSignature directly from the application submission, keeping all documentation connected and compliant.

FERPA-Compliant Data Collection

Educational institutions must protect student privacy, and Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance provides the security infrastructure you need. While this template isn't HIPAA-compliant for protected health information, it's designed with FERPA considerations in mind for educational records. Sensitive medical information can be collected securely and routed only to authorized personnel.

Students with ADHD and their families often find lengthy forms overwhelming. This template uses clear section breaks, progress indicators (when using multi-page mode), and supportive language that acknowledges the challenges families face.
