What is ADHD?
ADHD stands for AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and it is a
condition that can affect the way someone
focuses or pays attention, and controls
their impulses.
People with ADHD might:
Become easily distracted or
daydream frequently
Lose things often or forget to turn in
assignments
Have lots of energy and find it hard
to sit still.
Unintentionally interrupt or talk
excessively.
Struggle to finish tasks or stay
organized.
In high school, ADHD can look like:
Inattention: trouble focusing in class,
losing or forgetting work
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity: blurting out,
feeling restless, trouble waiting
Emotional Regulation: getting frustrated
easily or having quick mood changes
Even with these challenges, students with
ADHD are often creative, curious, and great
problem-solvers!

strategies.
