[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son is a freshman in HS with ADHD. He’s very bright but definitely needs help with time management and study skills now that rigor and workload have increased.

What EF skills, study habits etc have helped your kid to do well in college or what was lacking that hindered your child as they transitioned to college? I ask as we are hiring an EF coach and am curious what we want to make sure is in place/what we need to build on over these four years? [/quote]

My kid is still in high school - a senior - but he did a summer program away. We practiced him taking his meds on his own AM and PM for months before he left. Then the first week away he had to text me that he took them. After a week of success of him doing that unprompted, he graduated to doing it completely on his own. I'd say this is the #1 skill.

The second is for him to tell me when the meds are running low so I can request a refill. We will have to transition this more to him when he turns 18 especially if he uses a local pharmacy near his college.

Third skills is keeping track of work - upcoming assignments and tests. [/quote]
