Member Benefits

As a member of the ADHD Coaches Organization, you will enjoy access to the following benefits:

  • Directory Listing: A listing in the ACO Directory of ADHD Coaches, the largest directory of vetted ADHD coaches available anywhere. The directory is available to the public and searchable by name, niche, state/province, country, key words, and several other options.  ACO members who are a trained coach with professional experience working with ADHD clients and who have had ADHD-specific training or education are eligible to be listed in the directory. 
  • Coach Community Forums: Our very popular members-only forums where members can talk shop, ask for referrals, and tap into the collective experience and knowledge of their fellow members.
  • Case Collaborations: Free access to monthly ACO Case Collaborations.  This networking opportunity meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month and collaborates on ADHD coaching approaches for different challenges and themes.  Attendees earn 1 ICF CCEU. 
  • Conference Discount: Reduced rates for the Annual International Conference on ADHD, including the ADHD Professional Institute that precedes it.
  • Free Access: 
    • Unlimited online access to the Journal of Attention Disorders, a first rate peer-reviewed journal on our topic (this alone is worth your entire membership dues!)
    • Unlimited online access to Dr. Russell Barkley’s The ADHD Report (this too is worth almost as much as your membership dues!).
