Anyone know of books that teach how to be an effective ADD coach? I can't afford a coach, but I believe my brother would be willing if he knew what he could do to help me out. While I was searching on the net I found this quote which was quite amusing and at the same time very alarming.
WHY DOES A PERSON WITH AD/HD NEED A COACH?
Not all people with AD/HD do need a coach. On the other hand, after you have a medical diagnosis, have found the right combination of medications to normalize your brain functioning, have educated yourself about AD/HD and how it has and can affect you, have surrounded yourself with supportive, understanding people and a support group, but still find yourself spending hours and days playing solitaire instead of doing the dishes, paying bills or doing your paperwork, it is time to consider hiring a coach.
