One Response to “University & College Issues”

I work at a University in the Disabilities and Dyslexia Support Services as a Mentor for students with mental health issues, including ADHD. I did look on the Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood link on the right of the screen, but it only refers to a conference, which I am unable to attend. I know alot about ADHD as I have it myself, but times have moved on and there may be more research etc. specific to the 18-21 year age group. It is a long time since I was that age, and although I can remember I stuggled with anxiety, depression and concentration , I wasn’t aware I had a ADD at the time and so it is difficult to relate back to in a meaningful way. Does anyone have any expert knowledge or experiences they can share with me so that I can best assist any students that present with ADHD?
