What strategies can help an adult with ADHD succeed in the workplace?

If you struggle at your job, it may be because your job requires strong organization, focus and decision-making skills—the very skills that people with ADHD struggle with. Your healthcare provider can help. Ask your provider for referral to other professionals, such as a professional ADHD Coach, who can offer the following tactics that can help you thrive at your job:

• Time-management training to help get to work on time, handle tasks and attend meetings at designated times and meet deadlines.
• Relaxation and stress management training to help cope with new and difficult situations and people.
• Occupational therapy to teach strategies for organizing home and work activities.
• Job coaching or mentoring to support better working relationships and improve on-the-job performance.
