2. Know Thy ADHD
ADHD therapy should start with understanding and realistically
evaluating what is possible for a person to achieve, and what is not.
Parents should not hold kids with ADHD accountable for things they cant
accomplish right now (though they may be possible later). Accountability
and responsibility are good things, but only if they lead to success. Every
family member must be part of the treatment team knowing all about
ADHD and how to contribute to the solution.

7. Change the Format
A person with ADHD may find it hard to demonstrate what he knows. So
he needs to look for novel ways to showcase his talent. Example: A young
man with ADHD struggled with writing assignments in English class. He
was bored by the books he was assigned to read. He talked with his teacher
and, instead of writing book reports, he persuaded the teacher to let him
write parodies of the books. He zipped through assignments and received
the top prize in English.
