Edge ADHD coaches are trained, experienced, dedicated professionals who have a passion for helping young people with ADHD succeed. All our coaches either have ADHD themselves, or love someone who does, so they understand the challenges of ADHD (ADD) from both a professional and personal point of view.
ADHD coaching is a rapidly growing field. At the Edge Foundation, we have been on the leading edge of developing ADHD coaching standards and curriculum designed to produce ADHD coaches that are ready to work with the unique needs of high school and college students with ADHD. Some of the field’s top experts have been involved in developing our program including Nancy Ratey, Patricia Quinn and Jodi Sleeper-Triplett.

Hi Galina,
Thanks for asking this question. Coach training is often done by telephone in a teleclass format. The Edge Coach Training program is designed for coaches who have prior coach training and most are very familiar with the teleclasses. The training team sends course materials out to all participants before the first class along with the phone number to call, the reading lists, course expectations, etc. When we meet on the phone, there is a class lecture, class discussion and coaching practice. Everyone has materials wiht them on the call, can take notes AND listen to the audio playback anytime after each class. Nice way to review the learning! Works very well. I have been training coaches in this manner since 2005 and some of the top coach training programs in the world are all conducted by teleclass/telephone. This is not fake. It is very real and very valuable.
