For those that have been public schooled, that amount of freedom you get as you enter into college can, in a sense, be overwhelming.  For those with ADHD? Even more so. No longer are you being guided along by your teachers and parents to get up at 7 in the morning, show up to class […]

How Much Are You Getting Out of Your Education?

You’ve may have heard it thrown around before: “You only retain 1/3 of everything you learn in school”.
