title: The effectiveness of coaching for children and teens with AD/HD.
abstract: Specialized AD/HD coaching can be a helpful service for families and children. Coaching can help children and teens with numerous important yet challenging tasks, such as improving focus, staying on task, managing time, developing organizational skills, strengthening motivation, building self-awareness and confidence, and developing structures and routines to promote success. Readiness for AD/HD coaching is individual and depends on understanding cause and effect. AD/HD coaches work with parents of very young children, with parents and children in the pre-teen years, and directly with teen clients. AD/HD coaching for children and teens can lead to improved family life, better success in school, and optimum readiness for adult life.
