Weekly one-hour sessions are helping her very specifically structure her days and get “unstuck” while working from home.
With an EF coach, Renn is hoping to first target planning and prioritizing skills – the greatest areas of need for her son – but is also aiming for long-term solutions to everyday challenges. “Overall, we’re looking for greater independence navigating his school days, and establishing good habits and systems that can carry over into high school and into eventual post-pandemic life.”
EF skills coaching — like any coaching service — comes at a price. “I believe coaching is a valuable investment and worth every penny,” Renn said. “That said, it is not cheap. Especially for families with more than one child, and particularly for families economically impacted by COVID, this may not seem like a realistic path.”Brian Wightman has been working from his Vermont home since March 2020.
“My ADHD coach provides daily accountability, ensuring that I use my tools, that I not forget my long-term goals and commitments, and that my triumphs — no matter how small — are appreciated.”Rachel, a nurse based in Arizona, has been working with an ADHD coach for about a year, but calls the last six months pivotal. Renewed stress brought by the pandemic and her work as an essential employee has caused her anxiety to flare up considerably.
For Glynda Fox, of Oklahoma, hiring a life coach has helped her teen daughter, whose ADHD and anxiety spiked at the start of the pandemic. “Distance learning has been a big concern. She is already very stressed and did not do well with online learning last spring.”
