According to a Nov. 12 press release, researchers with Wayne State University have revealed that a type of coaching developed by the Edge Foundation has proved effective at helping college students with ADHD learn and succeed during their university years.
[The study results] demonstrate the effectiveness of a new model of coaching, developed exclusively for and used by the Edge Foundation, to help college students with ADHD improve executive functioning, which is their ability to organize, set and achieve goals, and self regulate -- all critical for a successful post secondary education.
Additionally, students who participated in the study felt that coaching helped them feel less stress, greater empowerment, increased confidence and have more balanced lives.
With greater numbers of students being diagnosed with ADHD at various ages, many colleges and universities are adapting their student support services to ensure that students with ADHD are given the opimal opportunity to succeed.
