Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is an invisible condition and very much misunderstood. Few with ADHD feel like anyone gets them. ADHD coach Jeff Copper has learned that, if you understand those with ADHD and get who they are, it’s easy to find solutions or systems that work. The key to it all is to have an open mind and the ability to actively listen.

Picture this, the ADHD high school junior begins to search for a college. Schools are researched and filtered down to a small list. Visits are made, decisions are narrowed, and then possibly a look at disability services. What if that were reversed?
