ANUCA Resources
Designed especially for ANUCA Members
The ANUCA Resources page brings together carefully curated tools, evidence, and recommendations to support ethical, informed, and effective coaching practice in ADHD and neurodivergent contexts.
Rather than overwhelming you with endless downloads or opinions, these resources are selected to help coaches think clearly, work responsibly, and apply learning in real-world settings.
This page includes:
- Tools and Templates
Practical resources designed to support your day-to-day coaching practice — including reflective tools, session structures, boundary-setting templates, and ethical decision-making aids. These are intended to be adapted thoughtfully, not used as one-size-fits-all solutions.
- Research & Mythbusting
Clear, accessible summaries of current research alongside mythbusting content that challenges common misconceptions about ADHD and neurodivergence. This section supports evidence-informed practice and helps coaches separate fact from assumption.
- Media Recommendations
Thoughtfully chosen books, articles, podcasts, and other media that contribute to a balanced, informed understanding of ADHD and neurodivergence — including practitioner insight, lived experience, and credible research voices.
Together, these resources support coaches who want to:
- Work confidently and ethically with ADHD and neurodivergent clients
- Stay informed without drowning in information
- Challenge outdated narratives and oversimplifications
- Strengthen professional judgement and reflective practice
ANUCA Resources are here to support ongoing learning, critical thinking, and good coaching — not quick fixes or shortcuts.
Tools and Templates
The ANUCA Tools & Templates collection is designed to support coaches with practical structure, without losing the flexibility and responsiveness that good coaching requires.
These resources are not scripts or formulas. They are thinking aids — created to help you prepare, reflect, set boundaries, and work ethically and consistently in ADHD and neurodivergent coaching contexts.
Within this section, you’ll find tools and templates to support:
Session structure and reflective practice
Contracting, scope, and boundary clarity
Ethical decision-making and professional judgement
Client communication and expectation-setting
Each tool is designed to be:
Adaptable to different coaching styles and contexts
Neurodivergent-aware and non-pathologising
Grounded in professional standards and ethical practice
Practical enough to use immediately
These tools are particularly helpful for coaches who:
Want clear structure without rigidity
Are developing confidence in ADHD or ND coaching
Value reflective practice and ethical clarity
Prefer resources that support thinking rather than dictate action
ANUCA Tools & Templates are here to make good practice easier to sustain, not to replace professional judgement. Used thoughtfully, they support consistency, confidence, and integrity in your coaching work.
Research & Myth Busting
In ADHD and neurodivergent coaching, what we believe shapes how we practise. When myths, assumptions, or outdated narratives go unchallenged, they can quietly undermine ethical coaching and client outcomes.
The ANUCA Research & Myth Busting section exists to support coaches in working from evidence, curiosity, and professional discernment — rather than trends, social media soundbites, or oversimplified explanations.
This space brings together:
Accessible summaries of current and relevant research
Thoughtful mythbusting that challenges common misconceptions
Contextual explanations that translate research into coaching practice
Balanced perspectives that respect both evidence and lived experience
Rather than presenting “right answers”, this section encourages coaches to:
Question assumptions and popular narratives
Understand nuance and complexity in ADHD and neurodivergence
Reflect on how beliefs influence coaching choices
Stay aligned with ethical, evidence-informed practice
Topics may include misunderstandings about diagnosis, executive function, motivation, emotional regulation, masking, workplace impact, and the limits of coaching itself.
ANUCA’s approach to research and mythbusting is not about debunking for the sake of it. It is about protecting clients, supporting coaches, and strengthening the credibility of the profession.
Good coaching starts with good thinking — and good thinking starts with sound, contextualised information.
Media Recommendations
The ANUCA Media Recommendations section brings together thoughtfully selected books, articles, podcasts, and other media to support informed, reflective, and ethical coaching practice in ADHD and neurodivergent contexts.
With so much content available — and not all of it accurate or helpful — this space exists to help coaches navigate media with discernment. The recommendations here are chosen for their contribution to understanding, not for hype, controversy, or oversimplified narratives.
This section includes media that:
Reflects current thinking and credible research
Represents diverse perspectives, including lived experience
Encourages nuance, curiosity, and critical reflection
Supports ethical and inclusive coaching practice
Rather than offering “must-read” lists, these recommendations invite you to:
Broaden and deepen your understanding of ADHD and neurodivergence
Notice how different narratives shape beliefs and practice
Reflect on what you take forward into your coaching work
Engage with media as a professional, not a passive consumer
Where relevant, ANUCA may include guidance on how a resource is best used — for learning, reflection, supervision discussion, or wider context — rather than as direct coaching advice.
ANUCA Media Recommendations are about learning well, thinking critically, and staying professionally grounded in a field that is constantly evolving.
