About the ACO:
The ACO is the largest professional membership organization for ADHD Coaches. We currently have more than 150 members in 6 countries. We connect with them by email five times each In addition, we are in regular monthly communication with about 400 other interested people. Our website is updated at least monthly adding full length articles that correspond to the abstracts included in our newsletter Circle. (Sample issues are available on line here.) The ACO is designated as a 501(c)6 nonprofit business association by the IRS.
ACO coaches work with clients who are more likely to be disorganized and unfocused. Other clients are entrepreneurs who have learned that working for themselves eliminates many of an employee’s struggles to fit in or to live up to an artificially set expectation.
