How to Assist Youth with ADHD

According to a national 2016 parent survey, 6.1 million youth have been diagnosed with ADHD.
Given these numbers, it is likely that all human service professionals will work with youth impacted by ADHD. What are some strategies you can use to support youth in successfully navigating their experiences?

• Knowledge on ADHD as an executive functioning disorder based on current research from Peg Dawson and Cindy Goldrich
