Abstract	ADHD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders that appears in childhood and continues through adulthood. It is considered to be a chronic disorder caused by a combination of neurobiological and genetic factors. The children and adolescents who experience this disorder have, along with other symptoms, trouble staying focused, difficulty sitting still, problems with acting without thinking, and difficulty finishing tasks. Untreated, this disorder can have negative long-term effects that include, but are not limited to, an inability to make friends and/or do well at school, which can lead to the development of emotional problems. Therefore, treatment is useful and effective for those suffering from ADHD. While evidence-based treatments are proven effective, there is a need for treatment that addresses the comorbid symptoms experienced by adolescents aged 13 to18 who have been diagnosed with ADHD. Treatment with adolescents should address all areas of life that affect their functioning. Because teachers and parents are less involved as the child ages, treatment should rely more on the adolescent and what s/he can do to minimize impairment. The purpose of the current study was to develop a program to address the social--emotional and executive functioning needs of adolescents with ADHD. This was achieved by thorough recommendations about what is needed by those affected by ADHD (e.g., parents, educators, medical and psychological professionals, and diagnosed adolescents). The data collected were used to determine what is needed and was combined with current evidence-based treatments to treat adolescents with ADHD.
