Coaches

Many adult patients have found ADHD coaching a very helpful tool in their arsenal of treatment

strategies. Coaching sessions often take place by telephone and email. This is called "telecoaching" or

"distance coaching." Therefore coaches do not necessarily need to be located in your local area.

Currently Canada has no regulations regarding qualifications of coaches. We suggest that you ask

individual coaches for their training qualifications and request that they supply you with testimonials

from past clients. We do our best to maintain an up-to-date listing given this limitation. If you have

updates, please contact us at the a fore-mentioned email address and we will update when possible.

If you know of a coach that is not listed here, especially if you had a good experience with them; or if

you are a coach yourself and would like your contact information made available on this website please

contact info@caddac.ca

If you have interest in becoming a coach, you can reach the ADD Coaching Academy, an online ADHD
