This prestigious recognition celebrates individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to advancing the field of ADHD coaching and supporting their fellow coaches through outstanding service, innovation, and leadership in the field of ADHD coaching and the overall ADHD community.

Tamara Rosier, PhD

Through her writing, leadership, and coaching, Dr. Tamara Rosier helps people navigate ADHD with clarity, skill, compassion—and just enough humor to make the journey a little lighter. Dr. Rosier has worn many hats—college administrator, professor, leadership consultant, high school teacher, business owner, and, most passionately, ADHD coach.

She is the founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan, where she leads a multidisciplinary team of coaches, therapists, a nurse practitioner, and a speech-language pathologist who equip individuals, parents, and families with practical strategies for thriving. She is also the co-founder of the Center for ADHD Coaching Excellence, a community of experienced coaches committed to making a bigger impact. As president of the ADHD Coaches Organization, she guided its growth, built collaborative relationships, and championed the profession worldwide.

She is the author of Your Brain’s Not Broken and You, Me, and Our ADHD Family, which translate brain science into relatable, actionable strategies for managing the emotional complexities of ADHD. And she knows that sometimes, working with ADHD just means reframing the hunt for your keys as an impromptu game of hide-and-seek.

This award celebrates the hard work of the hardworking volunteers who have made significant contributions to ACO and our members.
