S-SMART coaching ADHD/ASD coach

ADHD/ASD coaching is an ongoing partnership that helps clients live more effective and satisfying lives by deepening their learning, improving their performance, and enhancing their quality of life.

Clients with ADHD/ASD have the same human needs as any person with out any condition, and also face unique challenges related to ADHD or ASD, which can interfere with their quality of life. These challenges might include hyperactivity, impulsivity, and/or inattention, as well as the belief that they can't reach their goals because they have ADHD/ASD.

ADHD/ASD Coaches support their clients in developing a comprehensive understanding of both the nature of ADHD/ASD and the impact of ADHD/ASD on their client's quality of life. In addition, ADHD/ASD coaches work with clients to create structures, support, skills and strategies to help them move forward with fuller and more satisfying lives. Coaching assists clients with ADHD/ASD to stay focused on their goals, face obstacles, address core inattention-related issues like time management, organization, and self-esteem, gain clarity and function more effectively. The client is seen by the ADHD/ASD coach as resourceful and thus, with increasing self-awareness, as fully capable of discovering his or her own answers.

ADHD/ASD coaching also helps clients to:
  • Understand that the source of many of their challenges is ADHD or ASD, not personal shortcomings.
  • Safely examine areas of failure and areas where they want to be held accountable.
  • Heighten self-awareness and self-observation skills, and use those heightened skills to improve decision-making and performance.
  • Change perspective when "stuck" (i.e. learning how to stay on task, or being more consistent, learn to find solutions for their problems.)
  • Become aware of their own learning styles, processing styles and learning preferences so they can enhance their ability to learn and comprehend information and situations.
  • The clear understanding and recognition of how ADHD/ASD manifests
  • Appreciation of the paradox of the tremendous weaknesses and exceptional strengths of their clients
  • A commitment to coach from a paradigm of assisting clients to manage the ADHD/ASD challenges that impair their quality of life and enlisting the strengths in more aspects of the client’s life
  • Supporting and assisting clients in identifying and articulating their ADHD/ASD impairing challenges for effective communication with their health care providers
  • A greater level of safety and support for their clients, taking exceptionally great care to refrain from any judgments
  • Recognition that ADHD/ASD clients are often afraid to even contemplate success, given their past experience. As ADHD/ASD coaches come from the knowing that ADDers are uniquely wired, they assist clients in uncovering their strengths and owning their dreams and goals again.
  • Assisting clients to appreciate their learning modalities, unique organizing methods, and creative leaps and connections in order to develop customized systems that will facilitate the completion of goals and tasks
  • Witnessing and mirroring for clients to help them pay attention to what they are paying attention to
  • Offering structures and tools to assist clients in forming memory and retrieval links
  • Knowing to take the pressure off, so an individual with ADHD/ASD can take the action required to succeed
  • Identifying, and honoring, the unique brain wiring and strengths of each individual with ADHD /ASD
  • Co-creating systems that integrate more of their client’s talents into their short and long term strategies for the successful completion of important goals, tasks and projects.
