Back-to-School Success for Students With ADHD

August 5, 2026 Aug 5, 2026

Convos from the Couch welcomes Licensed Clinical Social Worker Cory Grad for an insightful conversation about helping students with ADHD navigate the transition back to school. Together, we explore what ADHD is, how it commonly shows up in children and teens, and why understanding how the ADHD brain works can make a meaningful difference in academic success.

Listeners will learn practical strategies for creating routines, building supportive home and school environments, and helping students develop organization and time-management skills.

The discussion also covers school accommodations such as IEPs and 504 plans, college support services, behavioral interventions, and common misconceptions that can create challenges for students with ADHD.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, caregiver, or student, this episode offers compassionate, real-world guidance to help make the start of a new school year feel less overwhelming and more empowering.
