The topic of the 17th Annual Timothy B. and Jane A. Burnett Seminar for Academic Achievement is “Ready for Takeoff: Preparing Teens with ADHD or LD for College” featuring Dr. Theresa Maitland, a leading expert on college students with ADHD/LD. The seminar is available as a free in-person event or as a web-based live stream for anyone unable to attend.
Studies suggest that when teens with ADHD/LD are prepared and use services in college they graduate at the same rate as their undiagnosed peers. This presentation will share what parents and professionals can do to increase the odds that transitioning teens with ADHD/LD will be ready to navigate successfully in college.
DR. THERESA MAITLAND is a leading expert on college students with ADHD/LD. A former ADHD learning specialist and coach at The University of North Carolina, Dr. Maitland also contributed to the development of The National Attention Deficit Disorder Association Guiding Principles for Coaching Individuals with Attention Deficit Disorder.
The Burnett Seminar targets parents of teens and young adults with ADHD/LD as well as teachers and counselors who work with them.
