Academic Coaching and College Students

"Success in college and in life requires that young people have the ability to observe themselves, notice when problems are in the early stages or even before they happen, and use their executive functioning skills to manage their emotions, think through their goals and plans for achieving these goals, and problem-solve to overcome any obstacles that stand in the way."

Parenting Young Adults with ADHD > CHADD - Nationally recognized authority on ADHD

"Under the best of circumstances, a parent’s role in the life of the young-adult child with ADHD should be one of consultant and collaborator rather than director and manager. This can be seen as a goal toward which parent and child are both striving, rather than an expectation, because ADHD imposes certain constraints on adult development.

Math Study Skills

PREVIEW:  "Read what the instructor will be lecturing on before you go to class.

Read slowly. Reading mathematics is not like reading a novel or even history. Speed reading techniques are not appropriate. Every word and symbol is important to the meaning. Do not skip the symbolic part of the text. This is often the most important part. If you do not understand a symbol, look in the glossary or in the earlier part of the text. Symbols are often explained when they are first introduced. If you still can not find out what a symbol means, ASK!

Adult ADD / ADHD: Signs, Symptoms, Effects, and Treatment

"Alternately, you may have been able to compensate for the symptoms of ADD/ADHD when you were young, only to run into problems as your responsibilities increase. The more balls you’re trying to keep in the air—pursuing a career, raising a family, running a household—the greater the demand on your abilities to organize, focus, and remain calm. This can be challenging for anyone, but if you have ADD/ADHD, it can feel downright impossible."

Thank you, Dr. Barkley!

Philip Zelazo

"For Philip David Zelazo, studying the development of executive function—the intentional control of thought, action, and emotion—is a window into human consciousness. Uncovering the structure, function, and impact of consciousness on our daily lives locates Zelazo at the crossroads between brain development, neural function, and psychology, where he has led for the past two decades.  

“Consciousness is one of the most exciting mysteries being investigated in the neurosciences and social sciences today,” he says. “And that’s what really motivates me.”"
