The teen years are exciting and challenging. The body grows and develops, the brain follows suit. Relationships and alliances shift. Risk-taking is common. For teens with ADHD, the changes can be magnified.
CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD) has a section on its webpage dedicated to teens and young adults with AD/HD … and their parents. Some of the information and links on the site are available to the general public while others are available only to CHADD members (a worthwhile investment to consider). Take a look:

Speaking of teens with AD/HD, some ADHD coaches have specialized training and experience in working with teens having ADHD. If you want to learn more about coaching, I’d be happy to talk with you. Please feel free to check my website at www.lizahmann.com
