Many individuals with ADHD and/or executive functioning deficits (i.e., trouble with time management, organization, etc.) need assistance with learning how to better manage their time, keep their materials organized, & more. At the same time, many individuals with these issues experience low self-esteem, resistance to change, low frustration tolerance, or other additional difficulties that impede their ability to effectively manage these skills.
