Are you the parent of a high school student in New York City who faces unique challenges with ADHD or executive functioning? Do you wonder how you can best support your high school students’ journey to college, ensuring they have the tools and skills needed to succeed? Look no more! Our ADHD and EF college prep coaches in NYC understand the unique struggles that high school students with learning differences face during their journey to college.ย
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological condition characterized by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These traits can significantly affect learning and daily activities, making traditional educational environments challenging for students with ADHD. Understanding ADHD is the first step towards empathy and tailored support.
In the United States, approximately 2 to 8% of the college student population reports clinically significant levels of ADHD symptoms. Furthermore, at least 25% of college students who have disabilities are diagnosed with ADHD. One study noted that a little more than 25% of first-year college students fail to persist to their second year, with dropout rates being even more pronounced for neurodivergent students, including those with executive function challenges.
Our 1:1 academic tutoring program is designed to assist high school students with ADHD and executive function challenges as they transition to college. We provide comprehensive assistance through personalized learning plans, subject mastery, study skills development, executive function support, stress management, and guidance on communication and advocacy skills. Our tutoring sessions take place at home, ensuring convenience and personalized attention to support a successful transition to college.
Choosing the right college is crucial for students with ADHD. We guide selecting institutions that offer strong support services, such as academic accommodations and access to learning specialists.
