Led by Alan Graham, Ph.D., an internationally recognized ADHD expert, we help kids and families navigate ADHD with warmth, evidence-based strategies, and a whole lot of encouragement.
Growth doesn’t have to be painful—you and your child can feel empowered every step of the way.
Let’s work together to bring out the best in your child!
Understanding ADHD in Kids: Support, Strategies & Success
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is more than just being energetic or easily distracted—it’s a different way of processing the world. Kids with ADHD often have incredible creativity, curiosity, and energy, but they may also struggle with focus organization, impulsivity, or managing emotions. The good news? With the right support, they can develop the skills they need to succeed—both now and in the future.
At ACP Consultants, we take a balanced, evidence-based approach to ADHD treatment. Our goal is to help kids feel capable and confident while giving parents the tools to support them effectively. We focus on:
Practical Strategies
Teaching kids how to manage attention, emotions, and daily tasks in a way that works for them.
Building Confidence
ADHD doesn’t define your child—we help them see their strengths and develop self-esteem.
Parent and Family Support
When parents understand ADHD, they can better support their child’s growth and success.
A Fun, Positive Approach
Growth doesn’t have to be stressful. We create a friendly, engaging environment where kids feel safe and supported.
Your child’s potential is limitless. With the right guidance, they can thrive!
The Four S’s Coaching Method: A Simple, Supportive Approach to Thriving with ADHD
ADHD can feel like a whirlwind—rushing from one thing to the next, trying to stay on track, and sometimes feeling frustrated along the way. But with the right tools and support, your kid can build a life that feels more manageable, fulfilling, and even fun! That’s exactly why Sue Coleman and Susan Sussman created the Four S’s framework—a simple yet powerful approach to coaching individuals with ADHD.
Structure: Creating a Framework for Success
Think of structure as the foundation that keeps everything in place. It’s about creating systems that make daily life easier—whether that means better time management, setting clear goals, or building simple routines that actually work. Structure doesn’t have to feel rigid—it’s about making life smoother and more predictable so your kid can focus on what truly matters.
Support: Your Kid is Not Alone in This
Many people with ADHD have spent years feeling misunderstood or criticized. A coach provides encouragement, accountability, and a safe space where they can be themselves. They celebrate their wins (big and small), help navigate challenges, and keep them focused on their goals—without judgment, just support.
Skills: Building Strengths That Work for You
When life feels unpredictable, the right skills can help bring consistency and confidence. Coaching helps kids identify their strengths and build key skills like goal-setting, time management, boundary-setting, and handling transitions. The goal? To make life feel more manageable, successful, and uniquely theirs.
Strategies: Practical Tools for Everyday Life
Strategies are customized techniques that help your kid stay on track, manage energy, and tackle tasks with less stress. From setting start and stop times to creating success markers and rewards, strategies help turn good intentions into real
progress—without the burnout.
By focusing on Structure, Support, Skills, and Strategies, ADHD coaching helps kids learn, grow, and feel successful in ways that feel natural and empowering. Because thriving with ADHD isn’t about forcing yourself to fit into a mold—it’s about finding what works best for you.
