Educational+-+Academic+Implications

**Educational/Academic Implications **
There are well-documented educational/academic implications for students with ADHD, Anxiety and comorbid ADHD and Anxiety. Such students are more likely to be suspended, expelled, and to drop out of high school (Mason & Reid, 2011; Van Ameringen, Mancini, & Farvolden, 2003; Barkley, 1998).

As a result such students receive less years of schooling, achieve lower grades, and fail more of their courses (Houghton, 2006) than do their peers without such diagnoses.

The academic failure that students with ADHD may experience, tends to “erode self-efficacy in the domain of academic performance…[which] may lead to negative affect” (Bagwell et al., 2006) and thus, experience social implications as follows.
