School sucked. Maybe your teen feels the same way. That feeling stayed with me until college. The school was challenging and overwhelming because it was not (and is not) set up for students who have uniquely wired brains. Thankfully, I figured out what worked for me. It isn’t the same for everyone. What works for […]
If there was ever a time to repeat the school year, now is the time. My daughters were young for their grade with summer birthdays. I always thought if we ever move, I would have them repeat whatever grade they were in at the time. It never happened. I would never have done that to […]
Self-care is a vital part of life. The term seems like it is everywhere now, but actually, it is nothing new. Our lives move at a ridiculous speed these days so much so that we need to remind ourselves to take care of ourselves. Nowhere is this truer than in college. The expectations put on […]

The purpose of the group is to develop a toolbox so that members gain self-awareness, accountability, education about ADHD and build skills. We will be […]
For most ADHD/ life coaches, adults find their services because the client feels that he/she could benefit from coaching. But I am working mostly with students with ADHD. There are some differences: Students (middle school and high school) don’t always notice they need support either because of their age, their ADHD or both. Most of […]
Priority setting is often the reason I am hired to help someone. It is something I can help someone figure out for her/himself with coaching. I don’t have a “one size fits all” set of priorities that everyone should live by. Priorities are personal. Through awareness about ourselves and then action and more awareness priorities often […]
School will be starting later this month in many areas so I just wanted to take this opportunity to write about IEPs and 504s.
