Why More Parents Are Turning to ADHD Coaching for Teens
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 11.4% of U.S. children aged 3–17 years—about 7.1 million children—have been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as of 2022. The diagnosis is more common among boys (16.3%) than girls (6.5%). ADHD prevalence also varies by demographic factors.
For many of these students, academic struggles are only part of the picture. Challenges with executive function—skills like organization, time management, and task initiation—impact nearly every aspect of daily life.
Research shows that around 70% of individuals with ADHD report significant improvements in executive functioning skills after engaging in ADHD coaching (Psychology Today). Programs like offer one-on-one ADHD coaching in South Carolina and online to help students build lasting strategies for success in school and life.
While schools play a vital role in providing accommodations and support services, they are often stretched thin. Many schools offer 504 Plans or Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), but these focus primarily on classroom modifications and academic goals. Outside of school, parents are finding there are limited options for building real-world skills that help teens thrive beyond the classroom.
This is where ADHD coaching is stepping in to fill the gap.
ADHD coaching for teens is a growing field designed to help students understand how their brain works best—and how to develop strategies that match their unique learning and thinking styles. Rather than focusing solely on academic content, coaching helps teens build foundational life skills: organizing assignments, managing time, starting tasks, and handling distractions.
Many parents turn to coaching because they see their teens struggling with challenges that aren't fully addressed at school: A student who forgets homework, even with reminders
A teen overwhelmed by large projects that require planning
A bright child whose grades don't reflect their abilities due to executive function difficulties
One recent survey by ADDitude Magazine found that over 50% of parents of children with ADHD seek out services outside of school to help their child manage symptoms and develop life skills. ADHD coaching is increasingly one of the top choices, as it offers personalized, one-on-one support that complements existing school services.
In South Carolina and beyond, this trend is gaining momentum. 'We're seeing more families reach out not because their child can't learn, but because they know their child needs a different kind of support to unlock their potential,' says the team at Carolina ADHD Coaching. 'Coaching provides a safe, supportive space for students to learn skills they'll use for life—not just for school.'
For parents exploring ADHD coaching, the process often begins with an initial consultation to discuss their child's needs and goals. From there, coaching sessions focus on building practical strategies, reinforcing positive habits, and empowering students to take ownership of their growth.
As awareness of ADHD and executive function challenges continues to grow, more families are looking beyond the classroom to give their teens the tools they need to succeed. ADHD coaching is helping bridge that gap—and for many students, it's making all the difference.

FDA Reveals Which Kinds of Eggs May Be Contaminated with Salmonella
In a June news release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revealed that "brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs" from the August Egg Company have "the potential" to be contaminated with salmonella. The outlet added that the eggs were "sold under multiple different brand names at restaurants and retailers" and should "no longer be available for sale." Those brands are Clover, First Street, Nuaid, O Organics, Marketside, Raleys, Simple Truth, Sun Harvest, and Sunnyside. According to People, over 1.7 million eggs have been recalled in nine states: California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana, and Illinois. On June 6, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed they were investigating the "multi-state outbreak of salmonella infections." Mayo Clinic states that while some people with salmonella may have no symptoms, most experience a range of symptoms, like abdominal cramps, within 8 to 72 hours. "In some cases, diarrhea can cause severe dehydration and requires prompt medical attention. Life-threatening complications also may develop if the infection spreads beyond the intestines. The risk of getting salmonella infection is higher with travel to countries without clean drinking water and proper sewage disposal." At this time, 21 people have been hospitalized due to infection, according to the FDA. In a statement, the August Egg Company shared, "We believe it is appropriate out of an abundance of caution to conduct this voluntary recall, as consumers may still have these eggs in their homes. It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens." The company concluded, "We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again."FDA Reveals Which Kinds of Eggs May Be Contaminated with Salmonella first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025

Extra: Progress And New Found Hope In The Fight Against Fentanyl
There are signs that America may be turning the tide on the fentanyl crisis. Across the country, the numbers show that overdose deaths from the powerful opioid and other drugs are dropping significantly. Recent analysis of U.S. data by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill indicates that deaths began declining in late 2023, when they reached a peak of 114,000. Now, the CDC suggests they're below 87,000. This comes at a time when fentanyl seizures at the U.S.-South border are decreasing–something the White House says is a sign that their border policies and efforts to curb the flow of illegal drugs are working. Earlier this week, Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta, a scientist and researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, joined host Gurnal Scott to discuss the trend and why his research suggests fentanyl deaths are on the decline. Dr. Dasgupta explained how multiple factors, including awareness, the use of Narcan, increased border security, and even politics, have all contributed to the improvement. However, he also warned that America is not yet out of the woods. We made some edits for time, and thought you might like to hear the whole conversation. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta and allow you to hear more of his take on the state of the fentanyl crisis.
