College Academic-Specific Skills
- Students with ADHD tend to have less effective study skills in key areas than both typical students and students with learning disabilities. These key areas of deficit include: (1) time management, (2) concentration, (3) selection of main ideas, and (4) test-taking strategies.
- One of the suggested treatment targets for the time managements skills is teaching students with ADHD to effectively manage time in college context. For example, strategies for scheduling work and structuring contingencies to support follow-through.
- Treatment strategies to improve the concentration for students with ADHD include mindfulness practice and structuring the environment effectively.
- Difficulties with response inhibition, working memory, and delay aversion may all contribute to difficulty in identifying main ideas and using effective test-taking strategies. Effective intervention for ADHD in college should include assessment and training in effective use of study skills related to the functions listed above. (e.g. the RAP paraphrasing strategy)
