"This is my fourth semester in college, and in two of them I have had to drop at least three classes. This semester I have all A’s and it is the first time I have actually felt in control of my academics, all due to the organization and support that Michelle has provided me."
Max - College Student, University of Colorado
"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the work you have done with Connor. It’s like he’s a completely different person now. After just a few months, not only is he better organized and engaged, he’s made a huge change in how he gets along with and communicates with his family. His semester grades were really good, he can find stuff now, and his car is fairly clean. I wish we had done this years ago, but the future is looking bright thanks to you and your team!"
James- Parent of College Student, Temple University
"My junior year has been the hardest time I have had to endure both emotionally and academically. I wouldn’t have been able to be organized enough to make the hard decisions I have had to make over the last few months without the help of my wonderful ADHD Coach. She has been a lifesaver.”
Mandy, High School Student, New York

Overwhelm is the leading cause of shut down for students. Coaches help guide students through assessing workloads, breaking down tasks, and creating an action plan to get things completed while also having a plan for accountability.
ADHD and Executive Function Challenges can make regulating emotions difficult. Coaches work individually with students to create strategies for managing overwhelm, anxiety, and self defeating thoughts.
Managing time does not come naturally for many students. Coaches will work 1:1 with students to create awareness and strategies for procrastination, time blindness, and formulating time estimates and schedules.
Coaches work with students to create weekly action plans that include tasks and expectations broken down into manageable pieces. Having a plan makes getting started easier. Students will have clear steps for completion and coaches can hold them accountable to ensure follow-through.
Organization is a key component of combating the overwhelm so many of our students face. Coaches will work with a student to identify and implement organizational strategies that are right for them not only for their materials and physical space, but also their thoughts and steps!
By developing better habits and self-management strategies with their coaches, students improve their overall performance in school and daily life. They will also utilize specialized tools and measurements for monthly progress tracking to combat avoidance, late work, and to develop an understanding of their unqiue challenges and strengths.
ADHD can impair executive functioning by weakening working memory, making it hard to follow instructions or complete tasks.Complicates planning and prioritization, resulting in procrastination and difficulty organizing tasks and undermines self-regulation and emotional control, leading to impulsive behavior and mood swings.
Anxiety can synergistically disrupt executive functioning by exacerbating difficulties in concentration and memory recall, heightening impulsivity and emotional dysregulation, and impairing the ability to plan, prioritize, and execute tasks efficiently due to overwhelming worry and inattention.
Depression can severely impair executive functioning by diminishing motivation and energy, complicating task initiation and completion, exacerbating difficulties in concentration and decision-making, and intensifying challenges in managing emotions and maintaining focus on goals.
Being Neurodivergent can lead to a unique set of executive functioning challenges, including diverse cognitive processing styles that may affect task execution and problem-solving, variability in focus and engagement levels, and distinct approaches to organizing and prioritizing tasks, all of which can be obstacles in managing daily activities and achieving goals
