I want to become a special education teacher. Are there any adhd teachers out there that can give me some advice? I'm having a lot of problems with my speaking skills and organization, so I am scared that I will be a bad teacher. I really need someone to help me get to my goal of being a special ed teacher.

I live in a college town. I know that our university has tutors, people that will help you since you have ADHD. Go to your school counselor and ask if there is such a facility. I know a young person that goes to our university and was having the same problem. The learning center here helped her. I hope that your university has the same kind of thing. Best of luck to you!!

Hello Rain:

ADDitude actually has a great online ADHD College Survival Guide that might give you some better study and organization advice.

Are you taking ADHD medication right now? If not, seeing a doctor for a formal diagnosis and treatment plan is essential.

Are you receiving any special accommodations for your ADHD? Most universities do offer academic accommodations such as extended deadlines, longer testing periods, note-takers, and more for students who are formally diagnosed with ADHD and can prove that it impairs their learning. You can normally find out about these accommodations through the office of special services at your school.

I hope this helps!
