Widely respected organizations and individuals including the National Institute of Mental Health, Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (CHADD), Russell Barkley (ADHD: A Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment), and Edward Hallowell (Driven to Distraction) have endorsed Coaching as a vital missing link for achieving success for people with ADHD.
Coaching provides techniques for helping clients develop greater focus and organizational skills, as well as establish strategies for better time and task management. Perhaps most importantly, an ADHD Coach can provide education for the client and family about the challenges and complexity of ADHD. A true understanding of the traits and nuances involved in having ADHD can offer a client hope, strategies, and direction to develop and achieve lifelong success.
