Episode Description

College prep looks different for teens with ADHD, who often lag behind their neurotypical peers in building the skills needed to navigate and succeed in life after high school. Learn how to assess your teen’s readiness for this forthcoming “solo expedition,” set realistic goals, and foster new and productive habits to support your teen’s transition from high school to college.

In this webinar, we aim to provide a clear roadmap to prepare teens for college, to empower parents, and to offer strategies to strengthen teens’ autonomy and self-reliance. Practical steps, milestones, a launch checklist, and a college timeline checklist will be provided to guide parents and support teens throughout this journey.

In this webinar, you will:

  • Learn how to assess your teen’s readiness for the transition to college
  • Learn how to help your teen build the skills necessary for independent living and navigating the college experience successfully
  • Understand how to set realistic goals and foster new habits to support your teen’s independence
  • See the actionable steps you and your teen can take using our easy-to-follow guide
