COLLEGE FRESHMAN PROBLEMS AND ADHD-
College Campus
When students with Attention Deficit Disorder go to college for the first time, it can feel really different from high school. They have to adjust to new routines and do more on their own, and they might lose the support from teachers and friends that used to help them remember things and stay on track. So, how can a student take control of their college life?
Many students find it hard to make the switch from high school to college. For those with ADD, this can be even tougher because some of the harder parts of ADD, like paying attention and staying organized, can cause extra problems. If they don’t find ways to focus and keep track of things, things can get even more stressful during their first year.
One common problem for students with ADD in college is forgetting things or not staying organized in daily life. Not keeping track of assignments, classes, or errands can hurt their grades and make college tougher.
Starting college is often hard for students with ADHD. But there are ways to stay organized and make it easier. It takes effort, patience, and practice to keep things running smoothly. Getting organized also means being kind to yourself when things don’t go perfectly, trying new routines, and celebrating when you do well at staying on top of your classes and responsibilities.
BACK TO SCHOOL ROUTINES FOR ADHD-
Education K-12
Getting organized and planning ahead makes life much easier when you have ADD. Before school starts, take a little time to set up simple routines for your family. This will help things run smoother and make daily life less stressful.
Part of the fun of living well with ADD is figuring out and preparing for the parts of life that others might just go through without much thought. Getting organized and planning ahead is the best way to do this. The time before school begins is a great chance to make plans so your year goes smoothly. These plans can include little habits and routines around the house that help make things easier for everyone.
There are plenty of helpful books that can give you ideas and tips. They can guide you in making decisions and figuring out the best ways to help your child succeed. Check out the free "Live Well" books available in September—that’s a great place to start.
You already know what routines your family needs. Take some time to plan ahead for a successful school year. When you do, things are less stressful, and everyone can feel better and live well with ADD!
