Eastside CHADD invites you to join Dr. George DuPaul on Wed., Nov. 18 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Zoom

Learn How to Support Transition from High School to College for Youth with ADHD.

Dr. DuPaul will describe effective interventions for promoting organizational skills, academic performance, and social functioning in youth and emerging adults with ADHD. Two examples of empirically supported programs will be discussed in detail. The Challenging Horizons Program (CHP) is a multicomponent high school-based intervention program that includes individual coaching in organization skills, materials management, planning, interpersonal functioning, and homework management. Accessing Campus Connections and Empowering Student Success (ACCESS) is a group cognitive behavior therapy program for college students with ADHD with a focus on organization, planning, study, and social skills. The presentation will emphasize strategies (including self-advocacy) to support youth with ADHD as they transition from high school to college.
