An ADHD coach helps people with ADHD carry out the practical activities of daily life in an organised, goal-oriented and timely fashion. In close partnership, an ADHD coach helps the client learn practical skills and initiate change in his or her daily life. A coach may help an adult with ADHD:

  • Maintain focus to achieve identified goals
  • Create strategies that work for you
  • Improve understanding of yourself so you have more control of your impulsive behaviours.

Coaches help individuals with ADHD learn how the symptoms of ADHD play out in their daily lives. Coaches primarily ask questions to help the client reflect and discover their own answers to these questions. The following are examples of questions coaches may ask:

  • What changes do you want to make in your daily life?
  • What small steps can you take today in the direction of your goals?
  • How can you motivate yourself to take action towards this goal?
  • When must this action be completed?
  • What steps have you taken already, and when will you take the remaining steps?
  • How will you evaluate the impact of your plan?
