interest in doing so. This class can also be of benefit to coaches
who work with clients who struggle with organization, prioritization
and time management. This is a twelve-hour class.
At the conclusion of this class, each participant will have
a toolkit of practical interventions that can be used immediately in
their coaching. Topics covered include: the logistics of AD/HD
coaching, time management, social skills, relationships, maintaining
self-esteem, working with children and adolescents, acceptance of
the diagnosis.
In this interactive class, participants are encouraged, but
not required, to bring case vignettes of individuals with AD/HD they
have worked with in coaching or other helping interactions. We will
use these cases to elaborate on the many approaches one can take
when working with this population.
