A Coaching Intervention for College Students with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Swartz, Stacy L.; Prevatt, Frances; Proctor, Briley E.
Psychology in the Schools, v42 n6 p647-656 Jul 2005
In this article we describe coaching as an intervention for college students with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Coaching college students with ADHD empowers individuals to organize and execute their responsibilities, both in academia and in everyday life. With the assistance of a coach, individuals with ADHD can create structure and execute change by identifying strategies that circumvent their deficits in executive functioning. We also present an example of a representative client to illustrate the methods used in coaching. Given the increased risks facing college students with ADHD, coaching is a useful complement to academic advising and intensive therapy. Our discussion includes obstacles to implementing and evaluating an ADHD coaching intervention.
