Has anyone used an ADHD coach with their child?

Just wondering about this - DS starts secondary school in September and his psychiatrist mentioned ADHD coaches as an idea when I asked how we could help him organise himself for secondary school. At the moment I have very little idea of how he will cope with daily organisation (aside from some clear reminders on what he needs to take with each day on his wall) and homework, unless I have to handhold him for every single thing, and I swear I'll have a nervous breakdown if I have to do that. Plus it wouldn't be helping him, he has to learn to do it himself and I don't have the time and energy to do that, and it's increasingly clear DH has ADHD too, so he's not much good on that front.

If anyone has used one I'd be interested in recommendations (I'm in London).

Not a kid but I've done some adhd courses. Useful for me. Maybe contact Adhdwise & ask if they know anyone local to you.

Thanks - I'm sure the psychiatrist sent me some info but I can't find it and have asked him to resend.
