ADHD Education, Support, & Group Coaching Program
THE WHY
As a Neurodivergent Educator, Facilitator, & Coach, I am deeply committed to education around & advocating for students with ADHD. I acknowledge the ongoing efforts of colleges & universities as they strive to understand & address the diverse needs of their student body, particularly in the context of invisible disabilities, accommodations, & learning differences. My aim is to contribute to these commendable endeavors.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This program aims to enhance understanding & acceptance of the difficulties & complexities of life with an ADHD brain & body. I want students to cultivate & practice effective tools & strategies, aspiring to establish a supportive community for neurodivergent students.
By integrating psychoeducation, coaching methods, & evidence-based ADHD interventions, the program brings advantages to both students & staff within the institution.
EDUCATION & SUPPORT-8 WEEKS-tier 1
Through psychoeducation, we dive into critical ADHD challenges, all related to executive function & self-regulation: emotional regulation, motivation, memory & focus, prioritization & planning, time management, problem-solving, self-advocacy & communication. I provide an established toolbox for each executive function or self-regulation challenge in order to establish the groundwork for group coaching & goal-oriented action. Level 1 offers a supportive community, creating an environment where neurodivergent students can share experiences, feel seen & understood. A place for belonging. This transformative journey empowers both participating students & staff, contributing to sustained academic success, overall health, & wellbeing.
GOAL-ORIENTED GROUP COACHING-SEMESTER-tier 2
Building on the foundation of the Psychoeducation & Support Group, Level 2 offers students who completed Level 1 direct small group coaching & the opportunity to learn from peers facing similar challenges. Throughout the semester, participants set measurable short-term goals, identify obstacles, & engage in creative problem-solving. Mandatory experimentation aids in developing tailored tools for personal ADHD challenges, fostering authenticity & self-confidence. The coaching group maintains strengths-based peer & coach support, with a focus on academic prioritization, ADHD symptom management, & overall well-being. This process empowers students to practice effective strategies & establish routines for long-term academic, work, & life skills enhancement.
PEER ACCOUNTABILITY GROUPS-ON GOING-tier 3
In Level 3, the invaluable connection, trust, & belonging established between students & staff become a university's most valuable asset. Following the 7-week psychoeducational & support group, as well as the semester-long coaching & goal-setting program, members further connect & collaborate to enhance self-awareness, self-regulation, & executive function skills. Peer interactions focus on cultivating healthy relationships, communication, & self-advocacy through cooperative accountability. Students persist in refining time management, planning, prioritization, motivation, & focus strategies, fostering both academic success & personal growth.
