Abstract

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) poses challenges for affected individuals in varied functional arenas and life domains. Research on specialized ADHD coaching demonstrates benefit across the age span. However, studies of ADHD coaching for adults have only focused on group coaching. We engaged eight expert coaches in an iterative process over five focus group meetings to develop components of a manualized intervention for a coaching engagement for individual adults with ADHD. The resultant guidelines, “ADHD Coaching Engagement: Manualized Intervention” (ACE-MI) offers both best practice guidance for coaching adults with ADHD and a consistent approach to a coaching engagement useful in supporting quality research in the field.
