Young people, particularly those with ADHD, are in the earlier stages of developing their self-awareness, so they are unlikely to be aware of their strengths and advocate for themselves.

As a result, they are vulnerable to developing low self-esteem and negative thinking when they struggle with their studies.  For those young people with ADHD, school has likely not been kind to them, both socially and academically.

Considering the typical ADHD student’s school experience and challenges, can you honestly blame them for “not trying harder?” By middle and high school, the typical ADHD student has experienced enough failure to buy into the comments constantly hurled at them by others and themselves:

“You are lazy and stupid”
“You obviously don’t care”
“If you only tried…”

These young individuals need to know that there is a better way. My coaching will demonstrate to them that academic success is well within their grasp.  Using a unique and proven approach I have developed over years of academic coaching, my young clients develop skills in the following areas:
