How to Find an Attention Deficit Disorder Coach

Dealing with Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD, can be difficult to manage. Although certain medications can be prescribed by doctors, sometimes coaches, such as life coaches or ADD coaches, are sought to help those diagnosed accomplish goals and organize their lives. Finding the right fit for you or your loved one is a process that involves searching for, meeting with and connecting with a suitable coach.

Instructions

Find the Right Coach for You

• 1

  Ask your general physician or another personal doctor if they can refer you to an ADD coach or life coach.

• 2

  Research any leads you are given. If you haven't found any suitable candidates by word of mouth, begin researching online. Look for individuals who specialize in your needs. Also, look for reviews, feedback or testimonials from previous clients.

• 3

  Write down all the information you find on the coaches you are interested in meeting.

• 4

  Phone the coaches' offices and inquire about their specialties, credentials, forms of payment and any other of your questions and concerns. Write their answers next to their names on the list you have created for comparison purposes.

• 5

  Set up an appointment to meet the coaches you feel would be a good fit. Face to face interviews and meetings are often the telltale sign of whether a coach or specialist is a good fit for a patient. The chemistry between the two makes the difference, where one coach may be able to motivate while another one frustrates.
