About this ebook
ADHD in students can result in severe underachievement. For example, did you know that fewer people with ADHD go to college than their non-ADD peers? Also, those that do attend, have a lower graduation rate. However, even though this is a huge problem, there aren't many e-books dedicated to this subject.
“It's such a shame that so many students with ADHD suffer like this, because although these challenges are very real, there are strategies that can help to manage them, so that students can get the grades that they deserve,” says Jacqueline Sinfield, the ADHD coach for adults.
Whether you want to focus and concentrate in class, develop time management skills so you can arrive to class and exams on time, learn how to motivate yourself, as well as manage classic ADHD behaviors such as procrastination, worry, stress and anxiety because there are answers to all these problems.

My Story
I was born and raised in England. When I was eighteen years old, I left home and trained to be a nurse. As a surgical nurse, I loved the daily interaction with people, as well as the hustle and bustle of daily hospital life. However, I found there was never enough time to do what I really enjoyed and this was something that is very beneficial. What I really loved was ‘one on one’ conversation with the patients and their relatives.
After some soul searching, I decided to make a career change. I still wanted the daily interaction with people and to make a positive difference in their lives, but in a different way. At the time I didn’t know what exactly this different method would be. However, I thought studying psychology would be a good start. It was during my final year of the psychology degree that I happened to be watching the Oprah show and one of her guests was a Life Coach. This was the first time I had heard about life coaching but thought that would be a perfect career for me. After a three year coach training programme, I started my private practice. Very quickly I received telephone calls from adults with ADHD asking if I would coach them. At the time, the only knowledge I had about Adult ADHD was from my psychology courses. However, I very quickly realized I loved working with this group of people. So, I read everything I could and educated myself about ADHD and developed a way to help my clients so that they saw astounding results.

At the age of twenty-eight, I was diagnosed with ‘severe dyslexia’. I find that being dyslexic, means I can relate to clients in a unique empathetic way. I had struggled through school, yet found my own ways to do tasks, sometimes consciously sometimes unconsciously. While dyslexia and ADHD are
