Personalized Academic & ADHD Coaching

A common problem area parents see with their child is a lack of motivation to complete homework assignments in a timely manner, if at all, as well as difficulty getting started on a project or a paper. A recurring problem is seen in the area of procrastination or forgetting to write things down in a planner. Difficulties may also be seen in social skills or making and keeping friends. 

Most parents bring their child to ADHD coaching to help crystallize school-related areas due to ADHD, and then talk about concrete academic strategies to change the approach that has not been working. 

ADHD (student) or Academic coaching takes place within developmentally appropriate conversations, yet coaching conversations have special qualities that set them apart from regular conversations. When you’re having a regular conversation, you really don’t know where it’s going to take you. However, in a coaching conversation you have an environment, a structure of focused intention, the student’s or client’s agenda, methods and models, and some desirable outcomes you’re both striving for. So, a coaching conversation then is a purposeful interaction or quest with a goal of creating awareness and imitating action for long-term change.
