Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hey everyone, it's Susan Coffin and you are listening to Attitude Magazine's

ADHD experts audio. We are very pleased to have back Dr. Theresa

Naitland to talk about college specifically how to help your team with ADHD or a learning disability handle the responsibilities of college life.

Dr. Maitland is a senior ADHD LD specialist at the University of North Carolina

at Chapel Hill and the author of several wonderful books

about college success for teens with disabilities,

including coaching college students with ADHD

and more recently recently ready for takeoff

preparing teams with ADHD and LD for college.

Some of the topics that she'll be talking about are how to recognize the common

pitfalls of parenting a teen with ADHD

LD what the value is and why you should consider a coaching or a collaborative style

with your teen and how to implement such a style and the real importance of

team self-advocacy a skill that your team and adolescent needs to learn for life

success and college success especially. Before we get started I'd like to extend the big thank you to the sponsor of this week's Attitude Webinar, the American Psychological Association.
