Skoach - "Schedule + coach = Skoach"
Skoach is cutting edge, ADD-friendly time management software developed by our center director Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D. in collaboration with computer scientists. Whether you're an adult struggling to become more focused and productive or a parent concerned about your middle school, high school or college student, Skoach is a highly affordable, very effective way to introduce helpful structure and support into the daily life of someone with ADD.
Goes with you everywhere - Because Skoach is web-based, it can go with you throughout the day, accessible from any smart phone, PDA or internet connection.
Can't lose it! - Because Skoach is web-based, you can't lose it, unlike a paper planner.Neither can it become lost or corrupted as can software-based planners that only "live" on your computer.
Great reminder system - Skoach can remind you of tasks or appointments in four different ways - a pop-up reminder on your comptuer screen, a text message to your cell phone, an email reminder or a message to your pager. You can be reminded of every task, or of only selected tasks. And setting up reminders is EASY!
Helps develop better daily habits - Skoach is designed to help learn better daily habits. An automatic reminder guides the user to engage in a daily planning session each day so that the user builds in the invaluable habit of always thinking and planning ahead.
Parental oversight - Skoach provides an oversight function so that a parent, ADD coach or tutor can have access to the student's Skoach page. A parent or coach can actually add tasks and reminders to the student's Skoach page as well as have an opportunity to review upcoming tasks and events. For younger students, it is also important for a parent to participate in the daily planning session.
Become a Skoach family! - The best way to teach good planning and time management is to model it. We have very positive feedback from parents and teens that are both using Skoach and are supporting each other in developing good time management habits.
