College accommodations & success strategies for students with ADHD
Parents of kids with ADHD or ADD know how difficult and frustrating it can sometimes be for them to succeed in school. Staying organized, remembering deadlines, avoiding distractions, and starting projects before the last minute are challenging enough for high school students. And the difficulty is even more substantial for college students who have far less structure and accountability to keep them on track, and many more responsibilities to manage. No wonder college students with ADHD have lower GPAs and are less likely than their peers to graduate successfully. The good news is, there are a number of opportunities available for ADHD and LD students to get additional support in college that can help set them up for success. In this session, 12-year veteran credentialed ADHD Coach and author, Laurie Dupar, will share…
- The differences between getting accommodations in high school and college, and how to make sure your teen has access to the support systems they need on campus
- Pros and cons of taking a “medication vacation” when transitioning to college, and how to know if this is the right approach for your teen
- What to do after your teen gets to campus, to make sure you’re aware of what is going on and don’t end up surprised at the end of the semester that they’ve been sleeping through all their classes
- How to know if your teen is really ready to transition to college…and what steps to take next if they’re not
