Not long ago, conventional wisdom held that ADHD was a disorder
of childhood only that somewhere during puberty or adolescence, the
child would outgrow it. Now we know better: the majority of
children with the disorder continue to display symptoms throughout
adolescence and into adulthood. It is during the teen and young
adult years that the psychological and academic needs of young
people with ADHD change considerably, and clinical and campus
professionals are not always sufficiently prepared to meet the
challenge.
"College" "Students with ADHD"is designed to bring the
professional reader up to speed. The book reviews the latest
findings on ADHD in high school and college students, assessment
methods, and pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions.
Practical guidelines are included for helping young adults make the
transition to college, so they may cope with their disorder and do
as well as possible in school and social settings. Coverage is
straightforward, realistic, and geared toward optimum functioning
and outcomes. Among the topics featured:
- Background information, from current statistics to diagnostic
issues.
- ADHD in high school adolescents.
- ADHD in college students: behavioral, academic, and psychosocial
functioning.
- Assessment of ADHD in college students.
- Psychosocial/educational treatment of ADHD in college
students.
- Pharmacotherapy for college students with ADHD.
- Future directions for practice and research.
The comprehensive information in "College Students with
ADHD"provides a wealth of information to researchers and
professionals working with this population, including clinical and
school psychologists, school and college counselors, special
education teachers, social workers, developmental psychologists,
and disability support staff on college campuses, as well as allied
mental health providers. "
