ADHD in College: Turning the Struggle Into Sustainable Success

Three Ways to Help Your College Student Thrive With ADHD — Academically, Emotionally, and Independently

College isn’t harder because the work is beyond a student’s ability.

It’s harder because your student is expected to manage their time, emotions, workload, and daily life independently, often without the structure and support that helped them succeed before.

When those skills haven’t fully developed yet, college can start to feel overwhelming even for bright, motivated students.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how ADHD impacts college success in ways that often go unseen, and what helps students move from struggling to thriving.

We’ll explore three key foundations that support sustainable success for college students with ADHD:

• How attention and executive function affect follow-through — why knowing what to do doesn’t always translate into doing it, and how students can learn to manage tasks, time, and expectations more effectively.

• How emotions and anxiety shape motivation and confidence — and why learning to regulate overwhelm and recover from setbacks is just as important as academic skills.

• How taking full ownership of daily life changes everything — including managing schedules, responsibilities, and decisions independently once they’ve left the nest.

You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how these pieces work together, why gaps in any one area can create challenges, and how the right kind of support helps students build confidence, consistency, and independence over time.

Whether your student is already struggling or you want to proactively support their transition to adulthood, this webinar will leave you with a grounded, hopeful perspective on what’s possible and how to support meaningful, lasting progress.
