ADHD Works

Anybody who wants to support people with ADHD - whether it's a full time career, additional to your existing expertise such as a coach, therapist, teacher or medical professional, or to help someone you care about, such as your children. Many of our students are neurodivergent themselves, but you don’t have to be! What matters most is that you care, you're curious, and you're committed to learning in an affirming, ethical way.

If you'd like your employer to help fund this, feel free to use our free template here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dzu1H-mFYJPc7Zr_omIKRgKdk0ALafv3buGSjGCKXY8/edit?usp=sharing A monthly payment plan option is available - payment needs to be finalised in advance of the course starting.

You’ll be trained in our tried-and-tested ADHD Works Executive Functioning Coaching Framework through weekly live sessions and flexible online lessons. You’ll leave with the skills to coach confidently, a toolkit that works, lifetime access to resources, and a supportive network of neurodivergent peers who actually get it.

This course is CPD accredited, meaning it's recognised by any organisation that uses CPD standards - including many employers, government bodies, and global companies. We created this training to bring integrity and structure to an unregulated industry, ensuring clients receive safe, high-quality support. You'll be featured on our online coaching directory after certification (renewable after 1 year), which is helpful as we work with a huge number of people and organisations like Microsoft, Google, and Disney. You'll also be equipped to coach clients through Access to Work, the UK Government scheme that can help fund ADHD coaching - and we’ll walk you through how it works as part of your training.

Our coaches are primarily trained to coach however they'd like to in their own personal capacities e.g running your own business or as part of your job already. We may take on a limited number of coaches at the end of the training who can work through us (as we have a huge amount of demand!), but you can still work with clients in your own capacity.

Yes - and many do! Like many respected professional programmes (including Harvard Medical School’s 6-week health coaching course), it’s not about how long you sit in a classroom, but how well the content is delivered - and how actively you apply it. We give you lifetime access to all lessons through our self-paced learning platform, so that you can revisit the content anytime and learn at a pace that works for your brain. We do education differently - ditching unnecessary tick-boxes without compromising on safety, all guided by our Ethical Compliance Framework tailored for neurodivergent people.

The course runs over 6 weeks, with one live group session each week - you can choose the time that works best for you. All sessions are recorded, so you won’t miss anything, and you're welcome to watch any of the other groups back too. We recommend setting aside around 2–3 hours per week for the live session, lesson content, and practice activities. You’ll also get lifetime access to all materials, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit everything whenever you need.

This course was created by Founder of ADHD Works, AuDHDer Leanne Maskell. She has a background in mental health and disability law, and has trained organisations such as Microsoft, Google and Disney on neurodiversity. Leanne's also personally trained over 400 coaches, alongside publishing best-selling books such as 'ADHD: an A to Z' and 'AuDHD: Blooming Differently'.

This course teaches our Executive Functioning Framework (including how to adapt it to AuDHD clients), alongside business skills. The AuDHD course assumes you're already supporting neurodivergent people, teaching our AuDHD Paradox Framework and deep-diving into the neuroscience of AuDHD. Not sure which course is right for you?
