In addition to stimulant medications for treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), there are also a number of non-medication treatments and other interventions that can reduce the symptoms of ADHD, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), ADHD coaching and Cogmed Working Memory Training. These can be utiized as the primary approach to managing ADHD symptoms or can be used adjunctively with medication.  

What are CBT & ADHD Coaching?

CBT is a type of counseling and is typically conducted during weekly meetings with a psychologist. ADHD coaching is similar but can also include telephone contacts and/or more frequent contact if needed.  CBT and ADHD coaching can help clients learn to better manage symptoms of ADHD and reduce their negative impact on daily functioning.
