Signs of Adult ADHD
Do you struggle to make a plan and see it through? Do you feel that you're falling behind at home or work? Do you struggle to start projects? Do you have trouble paying attention? Make frustrating errors? Forget details? These are signs of executive dysfunction, which is a common experience for people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
At Montview ADHD Coaching & Speech Therapy, we can help you improve attention, memory, organization, prioritization, focus, planning, and problem solving to address executive dysfunction. We build on your strengths to find strategies that work for you.

Coaching starts with an hour-long intake session where we discuss your desires and needs. Through assessments, we determine your areas of strength and challenge, and together we set goals around your own definitions of success. Then, over the course of coaching, we will offer comprehensive techniques, systems, and resources, as well as consultation, experience, and accountability.

- Most clients meet weekly for an hour with their coach for 1-2 months. Then, once strategies, habits and new technologies are in place, clients may opt for briefer weekly check-ins, with a full session biweekly or once a month.
- Coaching sessions can occur in-person or via video chat.
