What is the ADHD Info for Teens worksheet?

The ADHD Info for Teens worksheet is a two-page illustrated handout that explains ADHD, then asks the teen to apply it. Page one splits symptoms into INATTENTION and HYPERACTIVITY, and pairs them with management steps. Page two turns to reflection and goal setting.

How to use the ADHD Info for Teens worksheet

Give this out as homework after a psychoeducation session, once the teen has a name for what they experience. Ask them to mark the INATTENTION and HYPERACTIVITY lists for what actually happens to them, rather than what an adult has said about them. The managing column offers concrete moves such as Set reminders for important tasks and deadlines. Your clients can then use the Goals, Steps to Achieve it and Timeline table to commit to one change.

The managing block lists breaking tasks into smaller steps, reducing environmental distractions and using noise-cancelling headphones. Page two holds a Goals, Steps to Achieve it and Timeline table, plus self-assessment and goal-setting prompts.

Frequently asked questions

What does this ADHD handout ask a teen to do?

Three things. First, mark which inattention and hyperactivity symptoms match their own experience. Second, answer how ADHD affects school, home and friendships, and which strategies have already worked. Third, set one or two goals in the table, with the steps and a timeline for each.

How is inattention different from hyperactivity on this sheet?

Inattention covers trouble focusing, being easily distracted, forgetfulness in daily activities and difficulty following instructions. Hyperactivity covers fidgeting or squirming, trouble staying seated, and running or climbing when it is not appropriate. The sheet lists both without ranking them, since a teen can recognize one list and not the other.
