ADHD COACHING VERSUS THERAPY

By 27 Oct, 2013 ADHD Coaching Therapy

ADHD coaching often involves setting specific goals tailored to addressing organizational difficulties and improving focus.

-For students, these goals may involve teaching study skills, time management, and strategies to prioritize assignments.

-For adults (non-students), goals could include improving balance between work and social life, stress management, and maintaining focus and organization at home and in the work environment.

Therapy may encompass these goals and may also focus on exploring the triggers and impact of mood symptoms, developing coping and problem solving strategies, and increasing a support network.
