What is ADHD Coaching?
Students who have been diagnosed with ADHD have difficulty in school from kindergarten through college. ADHD affects all areas of a young person's life from school to home; whether the ADHD is the inattentive or hyperactive-impulsive type.
According to the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) Subcommittee on ADHD Coaching, "ADHD coaches support their clients in developing a comprehensive understanding of both the nature of ADHD and the impact of ADHD on their client's quality of life. In addition, ADHD coaches work with clients to create structures, support, skills and strategies. Coaching assists clients with ADHD to stay focused on their goals, face obstacles, address core ADHD-related issues like time management, organization, self-esteem, gain clarity and function more effectively."
Through frequent contact, weekly sessions (at client's house, by telephone or via Skype), plus regular e-mail or texting exchange, Ann will guide a client to commit to action. As a sounding board for their experiences, clients will be empowered to move forward in their lives.
While professional coaching is not a substitute for therapy or prescribed medication, Ann believes that personal ADHD coaching is a very effective and important part of the path to success. More and more experts in the treatment of ADHD are advocating for coaching as the piece of the puzzle that has been missing.
