What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a brain-based condition affecting how people focus, manage impulses, and regulate their activity levels. It can cause challenges with attention, organisation, and self-control. Once thought to affect only children, ADHD is now recognised as a lifelong condition. Most people continue to experience symptoms into adulthood, and adult-onset ADHD is also medically recognised.

Why Do Students With ADHD Struggle With Time Management?
Time management can be particularly challenging for students with ADHD because it involves executive functions - the mental skills we use to plan, organise, prioritise tasks, and follow through on them. Executive functions allow us to anticipate future outcomes, make informed decisions, and take necessary actions to achieve long-term goals.
