College Advisor for High School Students with ADHD

For a lot of kids, ADHD can feel like a blessing and a curse. Many ADHD students are great with big-picture ideas, can problem-solve at a moment’s notice, are incredibly creative, and can hyper-focus on the things they’re really, truly passionate about. On the other hand, ADHD can make it hard for kids to focus on topics they find boring, lead to impulsive behavior that impacts them in and outside of the classroom, cause issues with time management, organization, and attention to detail, and even lead to issues with depression and anxiety.

Best Colleges for Students with ADHD

Almost every college says they are accessible to neurodiverse people. Most will have a page on their website about how everyone is welcome and how much they respect the ADA. However, colleges range wildly when it comes to actually providing services and accessibility. Not all schools are the right fit when it comes to students with ADHD. Having the right mix of culture and services can be essential for students who are worried that their ADHD might hold them back from a degree. Many colleges have programs to help students who struggle with ADHD and/or other disabilities. We think it’s important that every student that wants to go to college can go to college and feel safe and supported. That’s why we have compiled a list of our top schools for students with ADHD.
