Overview

"Developed by four professors who also happen to be ADHD experts, this interactive and customizable workbook provides coaching to students with ADHD to make skills like managing time, motivating and organizing oneself, and ""adulting"" a workable part of everyday college life. Other books for college students with ADHD only describe personal experiences or just give advice, but this workbook promotes learning through interactive exercises and behavioral practice. It will allow you to address issues most relevant to your needs at whatever pace feels right. Modules are designed to be engaging, digestible, and activity-oriented. With practice, you will come away with improved skills that will help you to succeed in college, and to live your best life. This workbook can be used on its own; however, an accompanying Thriving in College guide for therapists uses an approach that mirrors what you will be learning and doing. If you have this workbook and are getting support from a therapist, encourage them to use the therapist guide along with you! Parents can also benefit from information in this workbook, to help their college students along the way and to understand ADHD and how it impacts the college years."
