The one thing that will increase your child's chances for an optimum college placement is your child's ability to succeed in high school. This success comes with family support, a good diagnosis, proper treatment including medication when needed, good grades, hard work, and a healthy and positive attitude. The better the grades, the greater the chances for higher test scores. The better the test scores, the better the college placement. Remember that college placement is based on performance and not necessarily on perceived potential.
Good performance helps a post-secondary institution predict success on their campus.
As a parent, one should do everything they can to facilitate the academic progress of their A.D.H.D. student. Good planning begins early, and early intervention and preparation set the ground work for college success. College is not the place where success happens spontaneously. In point of fact, problems exacerbate on a campus where there is a lot of freedom and little external control. Success is the reward that comes with early planning and good preparation.
