Eric, But isn't that true of EVERY student? That they MIGHT have difficulty and struggle with how to manage new tasks and new responsibilities? Beware of overgeneralizing the problems for students with any type of disability, but especially ADHD. They are tremendously varied in their skills, their coping strategies, and their interests. Being aware of how their disability impacts on them could be helpful in determining compensation strategies, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they cannot or will not be successful. Dr. Jane Jarrow
