ADHD Coaches and consultants can help a family deal with ADHD or help an individual learn to better cope with ADHD. While counseling professionals can earn an additional certification in ADHD Consulting, many individuals can become ADHD coaches who are not counselors. This is important to note.
The article, “Could an ADHD Coach Help Your Family?” by Sara Lindberg looks at the role of an ADHD Coach. She states,
“ADHD coaching is a relatively new idea. It’s important to be aware that there’s currently no formal regulation of the role, so technically, anyone can advertise themselves as an ADHD coach. At the same time, there are organizations that offer training and certifications. If you’re seeking a coach, it’s important to request their training and experience in order to know what qualifications they actually possess.”
