Empowering Youth with ADHD
Keynote Speaker: Jodi Sleeper-Triplett, MCC, SCAC, BCC
Attendees will learn about powerful strategies for educators, clinicians, and parents to empower youth with ADHD through coaching. The speaker will share key strategies for shifting problems to possibilities in partnership with students:

  • Listen to Learn: Active Listening is one of the most important skills for educators, parents, and support professionals.
  • Inquiry for Insight: Powerful questions that move students out of the past into action, focusing on the what and how, instead of the why to seeking reasonable solutions.
  • Awareness to Accountability: Coaching conversations which can help students to tap into their metacognition to build awareness and create action.

Employing these skills leads to increased success, empowerment and ultimately self-determination needed for students to advance both academically and personally.

Jodi is a world-renowned expert in student and ADHD/Executive Function coaching and the pioneer of the ADHD student coaching movement at a time when coaching young people was considered unrealistic. Jodi developed the first International Coaching Federation accredited coach training focused on coaching students with ADHD, executive function and learning challenges. As the co- founder of the Institute for the Advancement of ADHD Coaching and developer of the coaching model used in the Edge Foundation landmark 2-year coaching research study, Jodi is seen by many of her peers as the foremost authority in the field of student coaching.

Her first book, Empowering Youth With ADHD: Your Guide to Coaching Adolescents and Young Adults for Coaches, Parents, and Professionals provides coaches, parents and professionals with a powerful new guide to improving the lives of students with ADHD through coaching. “This is a ‘whole child’ approach,” says Sleeper-Triplett. “Whether it’s a coach, a parent, or a professional, there is a growing desire for people to learn the techniques that work. Coaching is the missing piece of the ADHD intervention enigma.”
