It offers weekly virtual coaching sessions from trained specialists; regular follow-up with schools to optimize academic settings; and facilitated virtual group therapy around ADHD topics, challenges and successes.

The idea is this: Teach someone to fish, and they can eat for a lifetime. But people who fish as a group can feast for a lifetime.

The main focus is coaching small groups of 6-8 clients. This evidence-based, clinically proven training involves a 6-week course that draws heavily upon the works of Dr. Mary V. Solanto at New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Dr. Ari Tuckman, and other psychologists and ADHD experts who have spent decades studying and treating ADHD. 

Group course materials are provided and include a weekly take-home assignment. These are designed for self reflection and implementing helpful changes around time management, organization, and project planning/completion. Topics will be reviewed and discussed in a round table-style at each session. Completion of them is essential to maximizing the benefits of the course. Additional group sessions on extra topics are available at the discretion of the group.

Individual coaching is also available on a case-by-case basis. It features the same course materials and methods. Once completed, these sessions can be expanded to monthly sessions for extra support, if needed. 

We also recognize that life can present unique challenges, and ADHD requires ongoing management. For that reason, those who complete the group or individual tracks are welcome to return to ADHD Connections for occasional "tune ups." 

Sadly, insurance does not cover ADHD coaching services. However, if a pediatrician or medical provider writes a letter of medical necessity recommending it, or if you run a small business, it is possible to deduct the cost of services from your taxes. Consult with your local tax prep specialist.

"Sometimes we feel stuck trying to support our patients and their families with a short visit every few weeks or months, when most of the difficulties are happening outside the office, especially at school. Parents come in describing the many phone calls home, suspensions, or failing grades. 

Although some of this is affected by the need to better support their hyperactivity and impulsivity or depression leading to frustration (in)tolerance, it is also clear that support in school is essential...Being able to find ways to develop these connections is essential to ensuring success for our patients."
