Transition Issues for High School and
College Students with ADHD
featuring
Robert M. Tudisco, JD
Executive
Director, Edge Foundation
|
|
| |
|
While students diagnosed with ADHD face continual difficulty addressing transitions, none prove more difficult than the transition from high school to college. What make this transition difficult are a variety of social and legal changes that many students and parents are not equipped to address, which put them at high risk despite their high potential. This transition however can be addressed if parents and students are proactive in addressing the difficult road to transition and plan ahead. This workshop will address many of the social and legal changes and discuss practical strategies for students to reach their full potential.
The Edge Foundation (www.edgefoundation.org) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and young adults with ADHD by providing personal coaching. The foundation trains professional life coaches in ADHD-management techniques and connects them with students in cities across the nation for weekly telephone sessions during the academic year.
After students apply online, the Edge Foundation matches them with potential coaches from its network. Once the student selects a coach, they work together in half-hour sessions, usually by telephone, with additional e-mail and phone contacts throughout the week. Students learn skills, techniques and strategies for setting goals, building confidence, organizing, scheduling, focusing, prioritizing and persisting at tasks. |
