Which reward schedule is most effective for maintaining motivation in ADHD clients?
Answer: Frequent, immediate, small rewards
Due to reward pathway differences in ADHD, clients respond best to frequent immediate reinforcement rather than distant large rewards.
'Temptation bundling' as an ADHD coaching accountability strategy involves:
Answer: Pairing a less preferred task with a preferred activity simultaneously
Temptation bundling pairs an unappealing task with something enjoyable (e.g., listening to a favorite podcast only while doing chores).
A 'parking lot' technique in ADHD coaching sessions is used to:
Answer: Capture off-topic thoughts without derailing the session agenda
A parking lot captures tangential ideas that arise during coaching without letting ADHD-driven topic jumps derail the main session agenda.
When an ADHD client consistently misses goals, the coach should first:
Answer: Explore whether the goal or system needs adjustment
Consistent goal misses typically signal that the goal is too large, the accountability system is mismatched, or unidentified barriers exist.
'Externalization' of tasks in ADHD coaching means:
Answer: Moving tasks and reminders outside the brain using physical tools and systems
Externalization compensates for working memory deficits by making information visible in the environment rather than relying on internal recall.
An ADHD coach's role in accountability differs from a parent or boss because the coach:
Answer: Uses questions to help clients develop their own personalized accountability systems
Unlike authority figures who impose external control, ADHD coaches use questioning to help clients build self-directed, personalized accountability systems.
