Does your teen have the life skills, maturity, and decision-making ability to make it in college and survive? Just because they graduated high school with a diploma doesn't mean they're ready. All too often, those with ADHD need more time to mature and develop life skills. Question is… what are the options? A GAP year! In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview John Willson of SOAR, Inc., (http://www.soarnc.org) about a certain type of GAP year – the Gateway Adventure program. In the interview, John talks about structure, the merits, and the hands on learning those in transition can gain from such a program. He also discusses the basics and resources to help make a decision if a GAP year is for you. If you're a teen or a parent of a teen with ADHD concerned that college might be coming too fast, this is a show you won't want to miss.
