ABSTRACT

College poses a unique challenge to students’ ability to manage Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is no surprise that many adults first identify their ADHD when encountering problems managing the transition to college. A complete handbook could be devoted to coping with ADHD in college. In fact, although it does not appear on any curriculum, college is as rigorous a test of your executive functioning and motivational skills as it is of your academic abilities. However, we will cover some of the main issues that we have observed when working with college students with ADHD.
