Student Coaching

Parents have endless options when it comes to supporting their child. Working with me is an intentional partnership that strengthens both the student and the systems around them. While I may spend more time with your child, meaningful progress happens when the whole family learns, adjusts, and grows together.

My approach combines structured one-on-one student sessions, in person at The Lab, with periodic, guided parent coaching rooted in the proven success of the PAUSE People Framework™. It’s designed for parents whose kids weren’t born organized and for families navigating ADHD at home; it bridges understanding between the student’s internal experience and the parent’s daily support.

Writing: My light-hearted, tech-focused approach is frequently a game-changer for reluctant writers. The Lab has lots of Apps and Extensions to check out.

Math: I specialize in establishing foundational skills through a blend of hands-on activities, virtual manipulatives, and digital resources.

Sustaining attention: The Lab is a space where students get to practice sustaining attention, with all the "EF things" like timers, to-do lists, etc.

Task Initiation: High- and low-tech tools, apps, and templates help students get started on tasks they might otherwise avoid. Structured supports clarify the “how to begin,” reducing overwhelm and building the confidence to take first steps, independently.

Keeping cool: The Lab provides a space where big emotions cool through supportive coaching, skill building, tech tools, and a calm environment; helping reduce emotional intensity and boost motivation and engagement.

Challenging limiting beliefs: When learners demonstrate their skills and talents, they become more open to new, positive, and motivating perspectives.

Completion: "Done" requires more than just appearing or wanting to be finished; completion and reflection (not perfection) build a sense of control over the process

Assistive Technology:
There are so many ways technology can boost productivity, comprehension, and independence. At The Lab, students have the opportunity to explore and practice these tools in a supported, structured setting -while getting real work done and building confidence.

Workflow Skills: All of the above combine to improve organization, information retention, and processing speed -key skills that support efficient and effective learning & organization.

The Process: Working Together

Part 1. Connection & Goal Setting
As part of the intake process, we identify the “Goal Zones”: the focus areas that will guide our work together. This collaborative stage clarifies what matters most for your child’s learning and growth, aligning goals with their strengths, learning profile, and academic demands, as well as the family routines and habits that shape daily life at school and home. (The focus is not just on your child.)

Part 2. Student Coaching
Using evidence-based strategies, technology tools, and reflective exercises, each session supports students in building skills and understanding of self-regulation aka executive function skills -while completing real work. The focus is on developing habits of planning, organization, and self-management in ways that feel practical, sustainable, and confidence-building. Working in person at the lab is always preferable, but connecting online may be an option, too.

Part 3. Family Coaching
Lasting change happens when families are part of the process. Parent coaching sessions provide time to review progress, align expectations, and apply the PAUSE People system at home. These conversations strengthen routines, communication, and the family systems that make growth more sustainable.

Part 4. Reflection & Renewal
At the end of each coaching period, we pause together to reflect on progress and identify next steps. Some families meet their initial goals within one coaching cycle; others continue into new focus areas with a renewed sense of direction. This reflection ensures our work remains aligned, balanced, and meaningful.

What to Expect Logistically

Sessions: 50-min student coaching (in-person preferred at lab or online).

Frequency: Weekly or bi-weekly based on needs.

A typical 12‑week coaching cycle provides an overall structure for our work together, while leaving room to adjust based on each student’s needs and your family’s schedule.

Approximately 12 student session‑hours (either full sessions or two 25‑minute meetings most weeks)
Ongoing reflection and feedback connected to each student’s Goal Zones
3 parent coaching hours using the PAUSE People system for continued alignment and support, consistent with family-centered ADHD and behavior supports recommended for parents
Optional follow-up planning after each 12-week cycle
