ADHD Coaching

What is an ADHD Coach?

ADHD coaches help individuals with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder achieve their goals by developing skills and strategies to compensate for areas of functioning affected by ADHD. Unlike therapists or counselors, coaches do not explore underlying emotional issues. Rather, coaches assist clients in forming internal and external structures to focus priorities, create action plans, and achieve success.

What can I work on with an ADHD Coach?

Because individuals vary in their strengths and in their areas for improvement, each coach-client relationship is unique. Possible topics for ADHD coaching include (but are not limited to):

Time Management/Scheduling
Managing coursework and studying
Routines for taking medication
Paying attention in class
Handling money matters
Self esteem/Negative self-talk
Organization
Completing Projects
Waking up and staying up
Managing stress/anxiety
Doing household chores
Learning more about ADHD/Self advocacy

When/Where are coach-client meetings held?

The coach and client decide together on meeting times and places. Some coaches and clients choose to communicate primarily through emails and/or phone calls; others choose to include face-to-face meetings.
