Does ADHD Coaching Work?<\/h2>

Coaching is now recognized as a legitimate resource for learning how to live with ADHD. Family doctors, psychiatrists and neuropsychologists refer for coaching as a management strategy for ADHD. Lynda Hoffman Life Coaching provides evidence based coaching practices to support clients in learning to live successfully with ADHD.<\/p>

Studies are beginning to surface that show the results are positive. For example, in 2013, the Field and Parker study showed statistically significant higher executive functioning, particularly relating to well-being. Interviews conducted with students indicated that coaching helped them think about and work toward their goals more productively, manage their time and tasks more efficiently, and use more positive self-talk.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Objective<\/span><\/strong>
The objective of this study was to identify undergraduates\u2019 perceptions of the impact of ADHD coaching on their academic success and broader life functioning.<\/p>

Method<\/span><\/strong>
One-on-one interviews were conducted with 19 students on 10 different U.S. campuses who comprised a purposive sample of gender, cumulative grade point average, and self-regulation skills variables as measured by the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory. Interview transcripts were coded using NVivo 8 software, and emergent themes were triangulated with students\u2019 descriptions of personal artifacts that symbolized coaching\u2019s influence on their lives.<\/p>

Results<\/span><\/strong>
Students reported that ADHD coaching helped them become more self-regulated, which led to positive academic experiences and outcomes. Students described ADHD coaching as a unique service that helped them develop more productive beliefs, experience more positive feelings and engage in more self-regulated behaviours.<\/p>

Conclusion<\/span><\/strong>
ADHD coaching helped participants enhance their self-control as they responded to the multifaceted demands of undergraduate life.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
