Is coaching right for my patient?

  • My patient expresses frustration with his/her brain.

  • Homework takes more than 2 hours, and not for lack of trying.

  • My patient tries different strategies to support their learning, but nothing has "stuck" yet.

  • I just gave the child a diagnosis of ADHD, learning disability, autism or another challenge, and the family needs support.

  • The parents may over-manage my patient, but they would like him/her to be more independent.

  • This patient seems genuinely confused by seemingly "easy" tasks, like managing homework.

  • Report cards mention "unfulfilled potential" or things my patient could do, "with a little more effort."

  • Assessments at school rarely show what my patient actually knows.

  • Parents report that his/her room is a total mess.

  • This patient seems open to help but isn\'t consistently asking for it.

  • Parents know some strategies to teach to their child, but they\'re not sure how to do so.

  • My patient struggles with the rollercoaster of last-minute grade-saving each school term.

  • My patient may need more intervention than medication alone or family is opposed to medication.
