What Makes the iACTcenter® Training Different?

HOLISTIC APPROACH

At the iACTcenter, we understand that people are more than just their ADHD. They are also their strengths, passions, interests, talents, relationships, and community. Our coaches learn to support the whole person, addressing a client’s personal, professional, academic, and emotional lives.

A LEARNING EXPERIENCE THAT WORKS WITH YOUR BRAIN

Learn in ways that work with your brain—not against it. Our entire program is intentionally designed to support neurodiverse learners through interactive discussions, visual learning, live coaching demonstrations, transcripts, recordings, and practical application. Rather than trying to adapt to a one-size-fits-all classroom, you’ll engage in a learning experience that helps you stay engaged, retain more, and confidently apply what you’re learning.

Because when learning works with your brain, you can focus on becoming the coach you’re meant to be.

A GLOBAL COMMUNITY THAT GROWS WITH YOU

Learning doesn’t end at graduation. Join a vibrant community of like-minded students and graduates from more than 135 countries who encourage one another, exchange ideas, share resources, and build professional relationships that often last long after training. You’ll always have a place to ask questions, celebrate successes, and stay connected with coaches who understand both ADHD and your professional journey.

Meet the iACTcenter Founder, Laurie Dupar

From One Mom’s Journey to a Global Movement

Over 30 years ago, my ADHD journey began when my son, Blake, was diagnosed. Despite my advanced education as a mental health practitioner,  I felt overwhelmed and unsure how to support him.

Discovering ADHD coaching changed everything. It gave Blake the tools to grow into a confident, capable adult. Today, he holds a computer science degree, enjoys meaningful relationships, and works at Microsoft—living proof of what’s possible with the right support.

In 2015, I founded the iACTcenter—born from a mother’s determination to help her child thrive. What started as one family’s story has grown into a global community of coaches, students, and advocates across six continents and more than 35 countries.

At the iACTcenter, we train ADHD Life Coaches who change lives—starting with their own. Whether you’re here to build a coaching business, deepen your understanding of ADHD, or support others with compassion and skill, you belong here.

On behalf of our entire team, I would like to invite you to join us. Let’s keep making a difference—together.

With gratitude,


Founder and Owner,  iACTcenter
