The Coaching Method and ADD Book

Coaching is an exciting new approach to ADD that is proving increasingly popular - because it works. A collaborative and respectful process that appeals to those who do not take readily to authority, it encourages clarity and focus for those who scatter themselves and suffer from chronic disorganization. The great value of coaching as an approach to ADD is that anyone can coach themselves, and it can also be used by parents, teachers and professionals. The author begins by explaining what ADD is and how ADD brains differ from the `normal.' She then discusses the application of coaching techniques and perspectives to labeling, medication, choice of therapies, and teaching methods. Later chapters deal with issues of structure, black and white thinking, emotional trips, creativity, impulsiveness, and sensitivity. Written from an insider's viewpoint, this book offers an insightful and practical guide that will be of great practical use to people who live with ADD themselves and to those who live with them.Read More
