Dr. Stephanie Sarkis joins Allen to discuss the challenge students face making it through school with attention deficit disorder, or ADD. Keeping track of schedules and deadlines, concentrating on lessons, and completing tasks are all hard-learned skills for youth with this condition. Because of these difficulties, students with ADD are more likely to drop out of school or spend extra, costly years pursuing their college education as well. Dr. Sardis’ book offers families with youth with ADD a comprehensive guide to getting the most out of education.
