The Board of the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches is proud to announce its approval of the PAAC Professional ADHD Coaching Competencies.
The eleven ADHD coaching competencies were developed to provide an understanding and appreciation for the skills and approaches used by professional ADHD coaches today. The competencies also offer coaches and training programs clear guidelines and skill sets for what it means to be a well-trained, competent ADHD coach. Last, these competencies serve as a foundation for the PAAC credentialing examination process.
The competencies are grouped into three sections – Partnership, Exploration, and Action – which mirror the beginning, middle, and end of a coaching conversation. While not every item of each competency may be appropriate in any given coaching session, the competencies illustrate the breadth and depth of skills used within an ADHD coaching session and relationship.
All competencies have equal weight. Their order does not represent any kind of priority. All competencies are critical for any competent ADHD coach to demonstrate.
