Coaching College Students with AD/HD - issues and answers

by Patricia O. Quinn MD

Nancy A. Ratey EdM, MCC

Theresa Maitland, PhD

I personally read this book and found it to be invaluable.  I have a 16 year old son with ADHD, and it was a source of information that I don't think I have read anywhere else.  Although my son is not yet in college, the book has provided me with insights that I may not have thought of own my own.  It delved expertly into many of the problems that might be faced, not only in college but in life outside of "Mom's House."  

By having this information now, I can start to work with my son on developing the skills needed down the road.  The book also contains strategies for coaching in dealing with a person with ADHD, by not becoming controlling or trying to make changes happen, but by allowing the person to take control of their own life.  Many of these practices, I can use in starting to travel the road of letting go.  As a parent of a child facing many challenges, we sometimes tend to take control of their actions in order to ensure success.  This book teaches you how to let go and help the person take control and find answers for their own personal success.

I would highly recommend this book to any parent, educator, coach, etc. that is dealing with children from ages 15 and up.  It will show you a whole new perspective.
