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 student with ADHD, you may find that you experience some of the following challenges:

​

• Poor organizational skills - misplaced and lost belongings

• Poor study skills - difficulty in remembering information and staying focused; get easily distracted and difficulty staying on track; procrastination and assignments left to the last minute

• Poor time management - under-estimate time needed for an assignment, difficulty in prioritizing and planning multiple assignments and long term assignments; waste time in non-essential activities

• Initiating work and completing school assignments

• Frustration and feeling overwhelmed

• Difficulty with transitions and changes - adjusting to new school or college, or new school year

• Neglect self-care - poor sleep and eating habits, and lack of exercise

• Lack self-advocacy to seek help

• Lack motivation or confidence to change current circumstances

​

To address these challenges, four areas are explored in detail in our academic coaching sessions with middle school, high school and college students: self-awareness, self-advocacy, self-management and self-care.
