It all began when David Giwerc, Michele Novotni and Evelyn Green worked together to write and implement US Resolution 390, which was eventually approved unanimously by the US Senate and is now known as ADHD Awareness Month.

  • The idea of ADHD coaching was first mentioned in the book Driven to Distraction co-authored by Dr. Ned Hallowell published in 1994.  In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, Dr. Ned Hallowell and Master Certified Coach David Giwerc celebrate the 20-year anniversary of this historic event.
  • In talking about this interview, Dr Hallowell said this through social media: “(ADHD) Coaching can be more valuable than what a doctor can offer.”   This shows you how far the credibility of the coaching profession has come to be recognized as such a critical part of a comprehensive program that can significantly and positively impact people with ADHD.
