ADD/ADHD Education  Learn fact from fiction about ADHD including the latest research. Get introduced to different types of treatment options, strategies and how to find the right mental/medical resources if necessary.

ADHD & Executive Function Coaching
For: parents, teens & *tweens 
*(Clients must be coachable: willing and capable to participate in sessions.)
Younger children typically benefit more from coaching of the parent, as the parents are the ones creating a supportive physical and emotional environment and providing reinforcement.

Individual coaching (in person or via phone or FaceTime/Skype) will help you to:

• Understand what executive functions are and how they are needed for success in daily life;
• ​Identify your personal areas of strength and learn how to make them work for you;
• Identify your preferred learning style;
• ​Recognize ineffective thought patterns and replace with positive thinking;
• Develop strategies and supports needed to successfully meet goals;
• ​Learn how to communicate your needs to others (i.e. parents, teachers, friends) 
• Identify potential obstacles &/or challenges to success and develop proactive plans to manage or hurdle them; 
• *Put healthy coping skills into practice to manage mild stress/ anxiety that commonly accompany ADHD
  • (Referrals for appropriate mental health providers will be recommended when necessary. Coaching and therapy can occur simultaneously for co-existing mental health issues, but coaching and therapy are not the same.)

More about Nancy Hallock

ADHD is woven into the fabric of my life and I bring all of it to my coaching.  I have experienced ADHD in many facets: as a classroom teacher, a mom of  multiple kids with ADHD and as someone with ADHD myself.  My personal coach training is through ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA) which specializes in understanding the unique challenges of working with clients who have ADHD.  I understand the academic and emotional challenges of life with ADHD and am ready to help you reach your goals.   

There are countless times my life can be loud and messy, but it is also joyful, amazing and beyond my wildest dreams. There are hurdles and we learn to jump through them or find another way around.  Your family's life doesn't have to look like anyone else's, it is unique to you.   

I understand the forgotten homework (and everything else), impulsive actions and difficult consequences, non-stop chatter, the sad tears of playground loneliness and excitement of wildly creative ideas.

I understand the frustration and fear in planning for life after high school.

I understand that often there are many other conditions that show up with the ADHD, especially anxiety and depression.

I understand the rush to get out the door in the morning, the homework battles and difficult bedtimes.  

​I understand the emotional meltdowns (parents and kids) and the heartfelt apologies later on. 

I understand how overwhelming it can be trying to navigate what is best with teachers, doctors and family members and the joy of relief when it all comes together.

I understand the heartbreak seeing a child struggle with friendships.

I understand the exhaustion and self-doubt as a both a parent and a teacher.

​My experiences allow me the unique perspective to appreciate where you are and the many academic, emotional and social pieces that are encountered by families with ADHD and the skill set to move you toward the successes you desire. 

My goal is to help you make life in your family or classroom a little bit easier, successful and joyful. You don't have to do it all alone.
