We provide executive function support and personalized strategies that build better habits.

We Get It. Because We’ve Been There.

  • “You don’t need to tell me to write down my to-dos.”
  • “I know I should start… I just can’t make myself do it.”
  • “I forgot. Again. I’m sorry.”

Sound familiar?

We get it. Your child is bright, creative, and full of potential—but their habits, distractions, and executive function challenges are holding them back. And the usual advice? It just doesn’t stick.

That’s where we come in.

At Carolina ADHD Coaching, we specialize in helping students understand how their brain works—and what tools actually help them focus, follow through, and feel capable again.

Our coaches don’t just give reminders. We build strategies together—based on how they think, not just how we wish they would.

How Coaching Works

Personalized support that works—offered in-person or fully online.

🧠 Private Coaching Sessions

Each week, your student meets 1:1 with their dedicated coach to set goals, troubleshoot challenges, and build systems that work. From planning for a test to organizing their room—we get things done together.

🔔 Nudges & Reminders

Sometimes the magic happens between sessions. Students receive quick, personalized nudges to help them start homework, prep for the day, or follow through on goals—without nagging.

📲 Coach in Your Pocket

Through secure messaging apps, students can reach out with questions, wins, or stress moments. It’s like having a calm, supportive coach in their back pocket whenever they need help resetting or refocusing.

🔥 Our Framework for Progress

Our ADHD coaching for students combines structure with strategy—so progress feels possible.

Most of our coaching sessions follow our FIRE UP Framework™—a consistent but flexible structure that helps students build momentum, executive function skills, and self-trust over time.

ADHD Coaching FireUp Framework
Focus

Start with presence. We check in on their state. What were the highs and lows of the past week? This sets the tone and builds trust.

What worked? What stalled? We explore patterns and surface any executive function challenges like task initiation or time management.

Here, we introduce (or revisit) executive function strategies and mindset shifts that can unblock stuck points. We treat struggles as data—not failure—to refine their approach moving forward.

We look ahead at upcoming priorities. What matters most? What feels heavy? Together, we break large goals into small wins and map out a realistic path forward.

Where can coaching support make a difference between sessions? We explore what’s needed—reminders, tools, check-ins, or just knowing someone’s in their corner.

We don’t just talk—we do. Most sessions end with a short body doubling segment: co-working, co-starting, or co-planning. This real-time activation taps into proven strategies for task initiation and builds confidence through momentum

Nothing We Do Is One-Size-Fits-All. We Build the Right System for Them.

We draw from a wide range of tools and strategies—but always focus on what works best for each person, and adjust as their needs grow and change.

FAQ

It depends on their goals and level of support needed. Most students experience meaningful improvements within the first few months—like better habits, clearer routines, and less stress.

For long-term results, a 3–6 month commitment helps solidify those skills and apply them consistently.

The real key? Consistency + practice. Weekly sessions and regular check-ins create steady progress.

We combine research-backed executive function coaching with our signature FireUp Framework™—a step-by-step system designed to help students focus, follow through, and feel more in control of their day.

We also use a curated library of tools, planners, and trackers to support habit-building, and academic success.

Every plan is customized, because no two students (or brains) are exactly alike.

Our coaching includes:

  • Weekly 1:1 sessions (typically 50 minutes)

  • Between-session messaging and nudges via app

  • Custom tools and strategies based on your student’s needs

We support your teen or young adult with structure, encouragement, and real-world solutions they can actually use.

We work primarily with students ages 10–22.

Our clients come from all types of educational settings—public, private, homeschool, hybrid, university, and online programs

Why ADHD Coaching Makes a Difference

If your child is struggling with follow-through, organization, or emotional regulation, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. ADHD coaching provides targeted support to build executive function skills, reduce daily stress, and improve motivation in ways that actually stick.

Unlike tutoring or therapy, ADHD coaching focuses on practical, present-moment strategies. We help students understand how their brains work best and co-create systems that support academic success, emotional growth, and personal independence.

Each session blends structure with flexibility — because no two students are the same. With regular coaching, real-time support, and tools built around how they think and learn, students gain confidence, consistency, and resilience.

Whether we’re building study habits, tackling task initiation, or navigating daily distractions, our goal is the same: to help students take meaningful steps forward each week. ADHD coaching isn’t about fixing — it’s about equipping.

If you’re looking for a supportive partner to guide your child through these challenges, we’re here to help.
