Why Add ADHD Coach Certification?
Dual Certifications = Greater Impact
You’re not just an Executive Function Coach. You’re a Certified ADHD Coach with specialized expertise that parents, schools, and clients actively seek out.
This credential positions you as the expert when families need ADHD-specific support–and they’re willing to pay premium rates for specialized knowledge.
ADHD Clients Are Your Ideal Niche
60-70% of EF coaching clients have ADHD. This credential proves you understand the neuroscience, challenges, and evidence-based strategies specific to ADHD brains.
Fulfills Your PD Requirement
This 40-hour specialty satisfies your complete professional development requirement for your 2-year credential renewal. Earn a credential while maintaining your board certification.
Command Higher Rates
Specialized certifications justify premium pricing. “I’m a Certified ADHD Coach” opens doors that generic coaching certifications cannot.
Stand Out to Schools and Clinics
When schools and therapy practices hire EF coaches, dual certifications in ADHD make you the preferred candidate for positions focused on neurodiverse students.
