When your child is struggling with academics, behavior, homework, and/or daily routines, I can help. We will work with the proper interventions and tools to achieve success. My experience working with children has fueled my passion for supporting families. I am an educator and a "MOM WHO GETS IT!"

                                                                                 

 

 SCHOOL COLLABORATION

 

Collaborating with your child’s school can be challenging, specifically when your child is not doing well academically or behaviorally.  My experience as an educator allows me to support this positive connection between your family and school. Proper collaboration and using research-based techniques to support greater success for your child’s special needs is critical.

PARENT EDUCATION

 

Parenting is challenging in the best of circumstances. However, with a child who has ADHD, learning disabilities, mood disorders, and/or other related disorders, parents must have the necessary training to help their child successfully.  Many techniques will help you assist your child in finding greater achievement in all areas of their life. Being fully educated about your child’s challenges gives you a disability perspective. This allows you to parent your child.  Finding the proper professionals and techniques is critical to making progress.

POSITIVE HOME/ SCHOOL COLLABORATION - SCHOOL ADVOCACY

​

Most teachers do their best to accommodate your child’s special needs. General Education teachers are not trained to support children with learning differences and mood disorders. Unfortunately, your child's special needs are often unmet due to cuts in special education and general education funds. When you have tried to work with your child’s school and are not succeeding, I can advocate for your child’s  FAPE (free and appropriate public education.) Children with special needs often have legal rights to additional support and accommodations in public schools and are often offered in private schools too.

ACADEMIC COACHING (KINDERGARTEN TO COLLEGE)

​

Children with brain-based disorders need to use specific tools to give them strategies to help them achieve where they may otherwise struggle with organization, time management, procrastination, study skills, self-advocacy, and other issues related to their disorder.  I can work with you and your child to find those tools for success.

TUTORING

​

Tutors teach academic subjects.  Finding the right tutor can be a challenge as they may not know the specific needs of children with ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Autism, Mood Disorders, or other learning differences.

SUMMER BOOT CAMPS

Most children with brain based disorders, often have lags in learning or study skills.  Let's use this time to grow.
