Evidence-informed: school-based interventions targeting organization, planning, and homework have shown benefits for adolescents with ADHD, including high-school students. Transition tools emphasize self-knowledge and self-advocacy as adult responsibility gradually increases.

WHY THESE TOOLS LOOK THIS WAY

Built from evidence. Designed for real life.

These tools are not meant to diagnose or treat ADHD. They are informed by ADHD research, clinical guidance, and school-based intervention literature. Many of the core strategies - like making plans visible, breaking tasks into manageable steps, building organizational systems, reducing distractions, and practicing self-advocacy - are grounded in established ADHD supports. Other activities use reflection, flexible thinking, and individualized experimentation to help girls notice what works for them. Those tools are evidence-informed, but are not presented as validated treatments.

These resources are for general education and skill-building. They are not a substitute for individualized medical, psychological, or educational guidance.
