“From deep contentment comes the courage to achieve.”

-Alfie Kohn

CBC Coaching moves clients toward contentment by supporting growth through executive function and ADHD challenges. 

Hello!

I’m Chris Copeland, a certified ADHD educator in Birmingham, Alabama with over 20 years of teaching experience.

I have experienced firsthand the immense challenges confronting those with ADHD and executive function issues. I have worked to create inclusive environments and build on individual strengths so that all of my students find success. I also have a glimpse behind the curtain—I know how schools work and understand how educators think.

I would love to help you or your child find contentment in all the positive aspects of neurodiversity!

How Can I Help You?

Executive Function

As an ADHD certified educator, I help clients understand their diagnosis, develop strategies for success, and grow into positive mindsets about the challenges and rewards of neurodivergence.

IEP / 504

The path to qualifying for and receiving federally mandated services for students with disabilities can be confusing and stressful. I work with families to understand the process and access services as a teammate of their school’s special education staff.

ACADEMICS

From support strategies to enrichment,
I help clients achieve their academic goals. In addition to identifying root causes of academic difficulties, I work with families to learn frameworks and develop plans for success.
