While ADHD can have a positive impact on a person’s energy levels and creativity, it can also create challenges in other areas of life.

An ADHD coach helps people impacted by ADHD to process the implications of the diagnosis, handle the day-to-day challenges, and address the emotional stress. An ADHD coach can help you identify and apply practical tools and techniques that work for you and your family. A coach may help parents and kids to:

• maintain focus to face obstacles and achieve identified goals.
• create structures, support, skills, and strategies.
• build motivation and self-esteem to gain clarity and function more effectively.

Coaching programs for children and adolescents focus on working simultaneously or exclusively with parents so they can better understand and help their child cope with ADHD.
