Despite its impact on the adult population, there has not been significant research related to the treatment of ADHD in adults. A relatively new treatment method, ADHD coaching, employs the principles of traditional coaching to address the daily challenges of living with ADHD. This study examines the methods and practices of ADHD interventions utilized by non-psychologist ADHD coaches and psychologists. An ADHD coaching survey was developed to obtain data regarding basic practices and differences in intervention methods of ADHD coaches and psychologists and the relationship between the use of between -session assignments and perceived client outcome. Results revealed that significant differences exist between ADHD coaches and psychologists in the mode of treatment, specific goals utilized, and specific interventions used. The components of frequency, quantity, quality and perceived value of between-session assignments all significantly predicted client goal mastery in ADHD coaching. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of
