If you are seeking psychological services or assessment for ADHD or related disorders, note that our lab only rarely provides such opportunities in the context of one of our research studies. To find out if any ongoing AAA Lab study is recruiting individuals and provides assessment or treatment, please see the Research page.
If you are a mental health professional and interested in using the Thriving in College skills training intervention in your practice, both a therapist manual and a student workbook are available via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Taylor & Francis/Routledge Publishers. If you are a college student with ADHD and seeking a "self-help" option to develop important skills for success in college (and life), the student workbook may be an option you want to consider.
