What is ADHD Coaching?

ADHD Coaching, also known as attention coaching or executive function coaching, is a personalized support service designed to help individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) improve focus, organization, and time management skills. This accommodation provides tailored strategies to address challenges such as distractibility, impulsivity, and difficulty prioritizing tasks. By working with a trained coach, individuals develop practical tools to navigate daily responsibilities, enhance productivity, and build self-confidence. ADHD Coaching is commonly used in educational, workplace, and personal settings to foster better executive functioning and goal achievement.

Who Benefits

  • People who struggle with managing time, staying organized, or maintaining focus during tasks.
  • Individuals who want supportive, non-judgmental guidance to develop personalized coping strategies.

How to Use ADHD Coaching Effectively

Start by identifying specific areas where support is needed, then select a coach experienced in ADHD strategies. Schedule regular sessions, either in person or virtually, to build skills gradually. Between meetings, practice recommended techniques and track progress. Open communication with your coach helps adjust approaches as needed. Maintaining consistency and applying learned methods daily maximizes long-term benefits and improves overall functioning.

Key Considerations

  • Costs vary widely; some coaching is covered by insurance or employee assistance programs, while private sessions may range from $50 to $200 per hour.
  • Coaching works well in both remote and in-office environments, offering flexible scheduling options.
  • While not legally mandated, ADHD Coaching complements accommodations under the ADA and supports workplace inclusion and safety.
