The Parent as Coach is a self-help guide for parents seeking to help their children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities. Based on sound theoretical principles, it guides parents through understanding their own feelings, providing new cognitive insights, and eventually helping to acquire a new skill set of effective behaviors. The efficacy of the coaching techniques implemented and described in detail in the book, have been empirically validated in a longitudinal study involving hundreds of parents, and showed marked improvements in parental ability to successfully cope. This practical guide can also benefit coaches, educators, psychologists, teachers, and professionals who help children with learning disabilities and ADHD.
