ARTISTIC/CREATIVE STUDENTS
Creative students often bubble with imagination and ideas, but struggle to get started. We will help them build routine, structure, planning, and organization into their lives while staying true to their creative nature. Creative students frequently need an outside the box approach because they see the world differently.
Too often creative students grow ashamed of their imaginative way of viewing the world because they hear from teachers, professors, and peers they are daydreamers or even lazy. We know, nothing could be further from the truth! With the right supports we help students hone their daily skills so they can focus on making the world a more beautiful and fascinating place!

Why Creative Students Need Support as Unique as They Are:
- These students often need supports at school that go beyond what the school traditionally provides to engage them in unique ways.
- Creative and artistic students often appear disinterested in other subjects and tend to hyperfocus on areas of interest. This can lead to feelings of failure, frustration, and difficulty concentrating or getting started on projects and assignments.
- Often these students have a hard time communicating with spoken words and use art/creativity to express feelings and emotions. Frequently this leads to a breakdown in communication, understanding, and self advocacy.
- This student has a unique way of seeing the world even beyond ADHD and that presents multi-layered challenges that need multi-layered solutions.
- Creative and artistic students often have deep emotions that must be effectively supported by a skilled coach.
