ADHD U: Executive Functioning Support for College Students

No one hands you the playbook for college.

You're expected to juggle deadlines, manage your time, advocate for yourself, stay organized, recover from setbacks, and somehow figure it all out.

ADHD U gives students with ADHD the structure, support, and practical strategies to make college feel manageable and, eventually, natural and routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

What exactly is ADHD U?

ADHD U is an executive functioning support program designed specifically for students with ADHD. Students get practical systems, live support, accountability, and guidance for the parts of college that universities expect students to figure out, but rarely teach.

It's not another class to complete. It's support for actually doing college.

How is ADHD U different from tutoring?

Tutoring helps a student understand what they're learning.

ADHD U helps students manage everything required to successfully navigate college—planning ahead, starting tasks, following through, managing deadlines, using campus resources, communicating with professors, recovering when things go sideways, and becoming more independent.

What does my student actually get with ADHD U?

ADHD U combines ongoing support with opportunities to build real-life skills. Members have access to live planning and accountability support, body doubling, office hours, practical executive functioning tools and resources, and monthly Sidequests covering the life and career skills college students need beyond academics.

Topics include time management, health and wellbeing, cooking and nutrition, budgeting, apartment and adult-life skills, career preparation, job searching, resumes, LinkedIn, and more.

What happens if my student needs more support?

ADHD U is the starting point for our students.

When students consistently engage and participate, we're able to see what's working, where they're getting stuck, and whether more individualized support may be appropriate.

We don’t believe families should pay for 1:1 coaching just because a student might need it. Throughout the semester, we’ll check in with ADHD U students and identify those who may benefit from more individualized support. When a student is engaging, showing up, and ready to use 1:1 coaching, we can talk about taking that next step. It’s a better way to protect your investment while making sure students get the right support at the right time.

What's the difference between the monthly and the annual ADHD U membership?

Both membership options give students access to the core ADHD U program.

Annual membership is for families who want to commit to building these skills across the entire college year rather than approaching executive functioning one month or one crisis at a time.

Annual Members also receive special benefits associated with the longer-term program, including eligibility for ADHD U Microinternship opportunities beginning in May 2027.

Annual membership is especially valuable because students have time to build their ADHD U systems before they need to use those same skills in a professional environment. If selected for a Microinternship, they continue to have ADHD U's planning, accountability, and executive functioning support behind them throughout the experience.

Annual membership provides eligibility to apply for Microinternships but does not guarantee placement.

Is ADHD U only for students who are struggling academically?

No.

Some students find ADHD U after a difficult semester. Others are earning good grades but using an exhausting amount of time, stress, parental prompting, last-minute scrambling, or all-nighters to keep everything together.

And some simply want to learn how to manage college more independently before things become difficult.

ADHD U isn't just about fixing problems.

It's about building systems before a missed deadline, difficult semester, or major transition becomes a crisis.

Will ADHD U remind students to do everything?

No...but we will help students build their own systems for remembering what needs to happen and when.

ADHD U isn’t another “just use your planner” lecture. We help students find and build systems that actually work for the way they operate.

We don’t want ADHD U to become another person, parent, or system a student depends on to tell them what to do next. Instead, we teach students how to plan, remember, get started, follow through, ask for help, problem-solve, and adjust when something isn’t working.

There is absolutely structure and accountability along the way. But the goal isn’t to get better at responding to someone else’s reminders.

The goal is greater independence.

What if a student doesn't participate?

ADHD U provides the structure, opportunities, tools, and support, but students still have to choose to use them.

That's why we've intentionally created different ways to participate. A student might come to planning support, use body doubling when they need help getting started, attend office hours when they're stuck, participate in a Sidequest, or use resources independently.

We don't expect every student to use ADHD U in exactly the same way.

But we cannot make a student participate or guarantee an academic outcome.

Engagement matters when students are being considered for additional opportunities such as 1:1 coaching and Microinternships.

What role do parents have in ADHD U?

ADHD U is intentionally student-centered.

Parents are often the people who recognize that support is needed and make that support possible. But college is also an important time for students to practice managing responsibilities, communicating for themselves, solving problems, and deciding when to ask for help.

Our goal isn't to replace parental reminders with ADHD U reminders. When appropriate, we encourage parents to gradually reduce reminders and shift more of their energy toward connection with their now-adult student.

It's to help students build the systems and skills that allow parents to gradually step out of that role.

We're building the student's support system, not another parent-managed system.

Is ADHD U a replacement for disability accommodations?

No. They serve different purposes and can work very well together.

College accommodations provide important access, things like extended testing time, reduced-distraction testing environments, note-taking support, or other approved accommodations. We do help students engage their accommodations in the best way.

ADHD U focuses on the skills involved in navigating college.

That can include understanding accommodations, figuring out how and when to use them, communicating with professors, accessing campus resources, planning around exams and assignments, and advocating for yourself when you need help.

A simple way to think about it is:

Your university provides academic access. ADHD U helps you navigate what comes next.

Is ADHD U therapy or a medical service?

No.

ADHD U is a coaching and educational program focused on executive functioning, college navigation, independence, practical life skills, and career readiness.

It is not psychotherapy, medical treatment, or a replacement for mental health or medical care. ADHD U is a coaching and educational support program and is not provided under BACB certification or intended to serve as ABA treatment, therapy, or a medical service.

Students can absolutely participate in ADHD U while also receiving therapy, medication management, disability accommodations, tutoring, or other services they need.

Is ADHD U online?

Yes.

ADHD U is designed to support students wherever they attend college.

Live programming, planning and accountability support, office hours, body doubling, Sidequests, resources, and community are available virtually.

That also means ADHD U can remain a consistent part of a student's support system even when their location changes whether they're on campus, commuting, home for a break, completing a summer opportunity, or eventually participating in a remote Microinternship.

Can we just sign up for 1:1 coaching instead?

ADHD U is now the entry point into our support system.

We've intentionally moved away from starting every student with high-touch 1:1 coaching.

Instead, students begin with access to the planning systems, accountability, resources, live support, and community inside ADHD U. That gives them an opportunity to begin building skills while also showing us how they engage with support.

When additional individualized support is appropriate and 1:1 availability opens, engaged ADHD U members are the students considered for those opportunities.

The goal isn't to give every student the most support possible.

It's to help each student develop the level of support they actually need to become more independent.

What are ADHD U Microinternships?

Beginning in May 2027, eligible Annual ADHD U Members will have opportunities to apply for short-term, paid professional experiences with participating small businesses.

These aren't practice assignments. Students will have opportunities to contribute to real projects while building professional skills, resume and portfolio experience, connections, and references.

But there's another important part of the model:

We aren't simply helping students get an opportunity and then sending them off to figure it out alone.

Our participating businesses are giving students an opportunity to gain meaningful early career experience. By reserving Microinternships for Annual ADHD U Members, we know the students entering these opportunities also have access to ADHD U's planning, accountability, executive functioning systems, and support.

The business provides the opportunity. ADHD U stays behind the student while they learn how to navigate it.

Does Annual ADHD U Membership guarantee a Microinternship?

No.

Annual ADHD U Membership provides eligibility and first access to available Microinternship opportunities beginning in May 2027, but it does not guarantee placement.

Microinternship opportunities will be limited and will vary based on participating businesses, project requirements, student qualifications, location, availability, and fit.

Students will still need to apply for opportunities for which they are interested and qualified.

We think that's important, too.

Part of preparing for life after college is learning how to identify opportunities, put yourself forward, communicate professionally, and navigate the application process.

ADHD U will be there to help students build those skills along the way.

What types of Microinternships will be available? Do they work for all majors?

We’re intentionally building the Microinternship program to include a broad range of industries, projects, and professional experiences.

The opportunities available will depend on the small businesses participating and the real work they need help completing. So far, businesses already recruited have identified potential opportunities in areas such as marketing, social media and content creation, graphic design, business operations, administrative support, and other functions involved in running an online or small business.

And we're just getting started. We already have meetings planned with additional small businesses in fields including health and wellness, engineering, and other industries as we work to expand the variety of opportunities available before the May 2027 launch.

Some Microinternships may align directly with a student's major or career goals. Others may provide something equally valuable: a first opportunity to build transferable professional skills like communicating with a supervisor, managing deadlines, completing real projects, receiving feedback, problem-solving, collaborating, and following through on responsibilities that matter to an actual business.

So no, we can't promise an opportunity for every major. Available projects will vary based on participating businesses, student qualifications, and business needs.

But that's also part of what makes Microinternships different.

The goal isn't to perfectly match every student with their future career. It's to help more students get that hard-to-get first piece of real-world experience. This experience that makes the next opportunity easier to get.
