PD and talks for schools and parent groups
If you’re seeking a veteran learning specialist to work in person with your child, I’m now accepting inquiries. My work is a very different approach than that of a traditional “EF coach.” I partner with parents and guardians to build skills, strengthen relationships, and create routines that support everyone at home. Together, we help your family thrive; whether you’re exploring non-pharmacological options or combining them with other supports. Contact me to learn more.
Thank you, Sacramento Country Day School, for the invitation to lead a professional development session for your faculty on August 21, 2025.
"Dan, your framing of neurodiversity as an essential part of DEI really resonated with our faculty, and I’ve already heard several reflections about how your talk expanded their lens for supporting students. I’m especially grateful for the way you connected our mission to the everyday practices that make learning more inclusive—not just for students receiving formal support, but for those who might otherwise go unseen.

I am an Educational Consultant with a private practice in Marin County, California, bringing 30 years of experience working with neurodiverse students, parents, and schools. My mission is to challenge the rising trends of ADHD diagnoses and lagging self-regulation skills among children, particularly the early default reliance on medication and the growing use of executive function coaches, who are often engaged only after challenges become acute in middle or high school.
When I am not in my Learning Lab offering uniquely effective, in-person one-on-one and small-group sessions with students, I seek to flip this narrative by supporting parents of tweens and younger children through early, consistent routines that build strong self-regulation skills, laying a foundation for lasting academic success and daily cooperation. I am committed to raising awareness and providing equitable support for neurodiverse learners through my engaging, practical professional development programs, including girls who are often overlooked.
