Question: Any tips for someone with severe ADD in college (besides meds)!?
My boyfriend has trouble with school (in college) and has ADD!. Its hard for him to do his work, he tries so hard and just can't focus, he takes the max for adderal and still has trouble!. I feel so much for him because it comes to me really easy!. Right now he's having his aunt help him every day to get his grades up!. Its not a motivation problem at all!. He spends hours everyday trying to do homework!. He asked me how I am able to complete all my work so easily!. Anyone have any tips that can help him help himself with his schoolwork!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

talk to the professors about it--they are usually pretty helpful if they know you have a learning disability
sit in the front row--helps your focus to be on the speaker rather than on other distractions
become friends with at least 3 people in each class that you can exchange notes with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If he writes his notes in different colors, it could help!.
really it does!.
i have a horrid time attempting to focus in class, and i find myself alot more attentive if i use different colors!.
and when i go back later to study them, they are in different colors so it isn't so boring!.
It's simple, but it really does help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I did better in a room or area where I was ALL BY MYSELF with no distractions!. No music or tv, either!. I also copied the information out of the books or notes onto colored index cards!. I would write questions on cards, too, with the answers on the other side!. I'd test myself, this way!. This was very helpful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
