Not long ago, conventional wisdom held that ADHD was a disorder of childhood only—that somewhere during puberty or adolescence, the child would outgrow it. Now we know better: the majority of children with the disorder continue to display symptoms throughout adolescence and into adulthood. It is during the teen and young adult years that the psychological and academic needs of young people with ADHD change considerably, and clinical and campus professionals are not always sufficiently prepared to meet the challenge. College Students with ADHD is designed to bring the professional reader up to speed. The book reviews the latest findings on ADHD in high school and college students, assessment methods, and pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. Practical guidelines are included for helping young adults make the transition to college, so they may cope with their disorder and do as well as possible in school and social settings. Coverage is straightforward, realistic, and geared toward optimum functioning and outcomes. Among the topics featured: - Background information, from current statistics to diagnostic issues. - ADHD in high school adolescents. - ADHD in college students: behavioral, academic, and psychosocial functioning. - Assessment of ADHD in college students. - Psychosocial/educational treatment of ADHD in college students. - Pharmacotherapy for college students with ADHD. - Future directions for practice and research. The comprehensive information in College Students with ADHD provides a wealth of information to researchers and professionals working with this population, including clinical and school psychologists, school and college counselors, special education teachers, social workers, developmental psychologists, and disability support staff on college campuses, as well as allied mental health providers.

Colleges and universities are seeing increasing numbers of students with a range of disabilities enrolling in postsecondary education. Many of these disabilities are invisible and, despite their potential for negative impact on students’ academic and social adjustment, some students will choose not to identify as having a disability or request support. Approaching disability from the perspective of difference, the authors of this new volume offer guidance on creating more inclusive learning environments on campus so that all students—whether or not they have a recognized disability—have the opportunity to succeed. Strategies for supporting students with specific learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder or who display learning and behavioral characteristics associated with these profiles are described. A valuable resource for instructors, advisors, academic support personnel, and others who work directly with college students.

As parents, we always strive to provide the best for our children, making sure they are well prepared to face the many challenges that life presents. Managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of those challenges that touches nearly 1 in 4 families. Whether you have had many years of experience in managing ADHD with your child, or only a few short months, ADHD is not left at home when your child heads to college. Adapting to life at college is especially difficult for children with ADHD, who often find it challenging to adapt to long lectures, pages and pages of assigned reading, and semester-long group projects. While inattention may have been effectively controlled with medications throughout high school, the extended hours of reading and studying demand that students remain attentive and organized, while simultaneously being creative and clever in their thoughts and writing. The college experience should be one of seeking opportunities and exploring career options. For students with ADHD, the experience is just the opposite, with limited options and dwindling opportunities. While many colleges have services in place to assist students with learning disabilities, a handful rise above the rest in customizing programs and curriculum with the ADHD learner in mind. This guide provides an overview of these colleges, their programs and success stories. Before making your first college visit, make sure you arm yourself with this book, and know the most important questions to ask on the visit. About the Authors Dr. Paul Nevin and Dr. Kerri Nevin are a husband and wife team of Clinical Psychologists who have been working with ADHD children, adolescents and adults for over 20 years. Drs. Paul and Kerri have three boys, one of whom has been diagnosed with ADHD.
