Understanding ADHD

in the House

For schools, districts, and parent groups​

Now enrolling — weekly or on your own schedule

Executive function coaching and educational therapy for kids and teens, in person at the Lab in Kentfield. Students work 1:1 with Dan on planning, focus, and follow-through, the skills that make school feel manageable. Some students meet weekly for ongoing support, and others space sessions. Either way, the goal is the same: transferring ownership of these skills to your student, so they rely more on themselves, less on reminders.

​

Your coaching is rooted in the PAUSE People System — helping you understand what's really going on, and how to show up differently when there's ADHD in the house. Space sessions out to your own pace. Either way, the work disrupts unhelpful patterns at school and at home, so your child and family land on a new normal you can all feel.

Why the Whole Family? 

Self-regulation doesn't develop from more talking. It develops from being seen, supported, and practiced in real time, at home, with you. The window before age 12 is particularly powerful. We call it the Legacy Window. Here's what most families don't realize:

​

  • The default is to fix the child — tutors, therapies, medication. But the CDC and AAP say parent behavior training is the most important frontline intervention, and it's almost never offered first.

  • Screens are quietly eroding kids' capacity for focus and self-regulation — and most parents don't have the tools to push back effectively.

  • EF challenges don't plateau in adolescence — they accelerate. The sooner families build the right skills and environment, the less steep the climb.
