Discover transformative practices of academic support within the field of complex adult learners in this groundbreaking research guide.
For years, Dr. Laura Hubbard listened to the stories of adult students with ADHD and co-occurring mental health issues who summoned the courage to enroll in college only to be met with roadblocks and disappointment in their pursuit of a college degree. With limited research on academic support deliberately designed for these specific students, she began a deep dive into the field of complex adult learners. Drawing from her own experiences as well as the experiences of students and fellow professors, she presents a highly specialized program to meet the needs of these adults.
In Perspectives on Academic Support: Adults with ADHD and Mental Health Challenges, Hubbard relates the struggles of adult students with ADHD and co-occurring mental health issues to help transform the landscape of higher education. Utilizing the perspective of students, and the professors who support them, Hubbard teaches students and professors how to meaningfully engage in transformative practices of support, offering students, families, and educators a path forward.
