Structured Coaching. A Personalized Plan. A Clear Direction.
Ongoing 1:1 coaching for students with ADHD, learning differences, and twice-exceptional profiles. Built around the school term, with student sessions and parent coaching included.
Looking for parent support only? That’sthat's PAUSE at Home.
A Clear Plan, and Time to Make It Stick
Before we start, I review your child’s evaluations, teacher feedback, and intake form, and build a personalized Action Plan. Then your child builds skills with me, you get coaching on supporting that growth at home, and we check in regularly on what’s working and what to change.
Your child and you learn the same playbook: what ADHD really is (it’s more than attention), how self-regulation works, how to set up the environment, and how to handle the tricky moments you can see coming. You work on it individually and together, so everything comes full circle.
The goal isn’t just a better semester. It’s a kid building real independence who needs fewer reminders and a family moving past the same old battles.
What We Work On
In-Person at the Lab or Online
-
Writing: A light-hearted, tech-focused approach that's frequently a game-changer for reluctant writers. The Lab has apps and extensions to explore and put to work immediately.
-
Math: Foundational skills built through hands-on activities, virtual manipulatives, and digital resources; addressing gaps before they compound.
-
Sustaining Attention: The Lab is a space where students practice sustaining attention with all the right EF supports: timers, structured to-do lists, chunked work, and a calm environment.
-
Task Initiation: High- and low-tech tools, apps, and templates help students get started on tasks they'd otherwise avoid. Structured scaffolds reduce overwhelm and build the confidence to take first steps independently.
-
Emotional Regulation: Big emotions cool through supportive coaching, skill-building, and a calm environment; reducing emotional intensity and boosting motivation and engagement.
-
Challenging ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts): Students learn to notice and question them, opening the door to new ways of thinking about school, opportunities, and habits.
-
Completion: "Done" requires more than wanting to be finished. Completion and reflection — not perfection — build a real sense of control over the learning process.
