Serving Marin County & Beyond
Your Child Has an Action PlAN.
Let's Build the Skills to Show It.
Ongoing 1:1 coaching for students with ADHD, learning differences, and twice-exceptional profiles. Structured in 8 or 12-week cycles — grounded in a personalized action plan, with student sessions, family coaching, and a clear arc from beginning to end.
More Time. More Depth. More Progress.
Some families need a clear plan and a lifeline. Others need time to go deeper — to build habits, adjust course, and arrive somewhere meaningfully different than where they started.
That's what ongoing coaching is for.
Every cycle begins with the action plan — a personalized roadmap built from your child's learning profile, strengths, and the Goal Zones that will shape our work together. From there, we move through the same four-part PAUSE System structure: connection, student coaching, family coaching, and reflection.
The difference between 8 and 12 weeks isn't just time. It's how far we get.
It Starts With the Action Plan
Before the first session, Dan does his homework.
He reviews your child's neuropsychological evaluation, teacher feedback, and intake form — and builds a personalized Action Plan across 11 executive function domains. That plan guides everything.
From there, the work moves in three directions at once: your child builds real skills in sessions with Dan. You get coaching on how to support that growth at home. And throughout the cycle, you pause together to reflect — what's working, what's next, and whether the plan needs to shift.
The goal isn't a better semester. It's a kid who knows how to manage themselves — and a family that knows how to support that.
How it comes to life
Choose Your Cycle
8-WEEK ENGAGEMENT: $3,497. Structure and momentum through mid-October.
For families ready to go deeper, the 8-week cycle provides continuity and a clear arc — a beginning, a rhythm, and a shared direction. Grounded in the action plan from day one, with approximately 10 hours of coaching total: 8 hours of student coaching, and 2 hours of parent coaching included.
12-WEEK ENGAGEMENT: $4,997 Sustained support through Thanksgiving.
The most comprehensive option. Twelve weeks gives us the time to go deeper, adjust course, and arrive at the holiday break with real, measurable progress. Approximately 15 hours of coaching total: 12-13 hours of student coaching, with 2 hours of parent coaching included.
This is the full PAUSE System experience — and the best value per hour of any option I offer.

What We Work On
In-Person at the Lab for Greater Impact
-
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 — identifying gaps and addressing them 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.
