WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM COACHING?

Coaching services are ideal for children (8 and up), teens, college students and adults. For younger children and children not ready to be coached, parent coaching is a great alternative to help create support and structure in the home, leading to a calmer environment.

HOW DOES COACHING TAKE PLACE?

Coaching sessions can be conducted in person or by telephone, with e-mail offered as an added means of contact and accountability. In-home consultation is also available.

HOW DO I BEGIN?

The process begins with a free initial telephone screening to see if coaching is right for you and your family. After the phone consultation, a 90 minute intake session will be scheduled. During the intake, the coach asks background questions to get to know you - to get to the heart of your values, goals and desires. From there a custom tailored program will be developed.

WHAT MIGHT COACHING SERVICES INCLUDE?

Coaching services may include:

• Family meetings to help educate and involve the whole family in the goal setting and support system.
• Coordination with other professionals (physicians, psychiatrists, counselors, and teachers).
• An outside source of structure that is non-confrontational, relieving stress from within the family unit and promoting stronger bonds between family members.
• Suggestions for organizational skills for clients and their families.
• Plans to improve an office/home work or study space and an organizational system that works best with the client's learning style and environment.
• Education for family and friends, reducing the focus on the difficulties of the person with AD/HD, and eliminating blame and ridicule.
• Teaching and fostering appropriate social skills, self-reliance and self-advocacy.
• Promoting a positive attitude toward AD/HD.
