The adolescent years are exciting times of growth and transitions, filled with increased independence, decision-making about college, career choices, and relationships. Yet, as a teen with ADHD, you may find that you are experiencing some or all of the following challenges:

​

• poor organizational skills

• lost homework and misplaced belongings

• lack of planning leading to overloaded schedule

• difficulty in getting started and staying on task, and constant procrastination 

• projects with little or no time to complete

• lack of self-advocacy to seek help and clarification on school work

• limited time management and study skills

• stressful and overwhelming workload

• lack of motivation and feelings of hopelessness

• neglected self-care - poor sleep and eating habits

• difficulty in transitions - moving to middle school, high school or even to college

 

To address these challenges, several options are available to help students: Cogmed Working Memory training, individual academic coaching sessions, Skype or Face Time for college students living away from home.
