ADHD Coach Training Overview

ADHD Coaching is a rewarding career in a rapidly growing field. ADHD Coaches are able to set their own hours and see the direct benefits of their hard work. Working one-on-one with children, teenagers, college students, or adults, ADHD Coaches motivate, provide long-term strategic planning, and manage the overall treatment and support system for their clients.

The ideal coach is a college educated people-person who has direct experience with ADD/ADHD. A great ADHD Coach is talented at assessing problems and generating practical, efficient solutions. A good sense of humor, creativity and love of fun are also major perks.

ADD Insights offers two distinct programs led by Senior Certified ADHD Coach and IAAC founding member Carol Gignoux. Using the Seven Core Competencies training method, all participants are prepared in accordance with the International Coach Federation Coach Competencies and the high standards of the Institute for Advancement of ADHD Coaching. Our graduates receive a well-rounded education that fully prepares them for the Coach Certification Exam and the foundation for starting their own practice right away.
