"I am a Special Education teacher with a specialty working with students who struggle in school as a result of ADHD, Dyslexia, or ASD. I use a life-coaching approach when working with students who would like/need to develop strategies to help support their success in school. I love working one on one with students who feel frustrated about school and wonder why they don’t “get it” like their peers do. Together, we explore how their particular neurodiverstity experiences can work as assets and what their struggles are because of their neurodiversity(ies). Together we explore and trial strategies for coping with these struggles that they can take with them to school.

When a student who is ADHD struggles in school due to impulsivity, lack of focus, disorganization, and even reading comprehension, it can be depleting to one's self-esteem. ADHD coaching for children/teens is designed to directly teach executive functioning skills and strategies related to school performance, work as an accountability system with the student, and help a student discover their own strengths and solutions in a safe, confidential environment.

I have been an educator for 15 years, working with students who receive special education services as a result of a disability. I have taught K-4 mild to severe disabilities, reading intervention, as well as High School Functional Life Skills and transition skills. I am also a certified ADHD Life Coach who specializes working with children as well as youth who are transitioning from high school to college." less...
