[Coaching]
[Parent/Caregiver]
Coaching adolescents and young adults with AD/HD, while very complex, highly individualized, and multi-faceted, provides support for success in academic and life settings. Coaches act as the student’s executive function “CEO” while these students mature, develop, and learn the management skills necessary for life balance and school advancement. A panel of coaches who specialize in coaching this population will share their expertise and unique approaches to helping teens and young adults build the executive function skills necessary for independence.
