"I have a beautiful 16-year-old old boy who has ADHD. He is a great teen on medication, but off, he is a menace. I have two other great boys age 12 and 10. They do not have ADHD, and they are starting to hate their older brother for what he does to them every morning before he takes his medication: poking, hiding stuff and just annoying them. This is becoming a problem and now my 12-year-old is becoming very angry." -- About.com reader

Research finds that students who received ADHD coaching show substantial gains in their overall approach to learning - including improvements in their ability to organize, direct and manage cognitive activities, emotional responses and overt behaviors. They are better able to formulate goals more realistically and consistently work toward achieving them, manage their time more effectively, and stick with tasks even when they find those tasks challenging. In addition, students report that coaching helps them to feel less stress, greater empowerment, increased confidence, and have more balanced lives.
