Our Mission
Our goal is to provide training, coaching and support for school staff, parents and students to improve academic performance and order in the home.
Our Comprehensive Approach
We provide training to staff while keeping the unique culture and goals of each school in mind.
We educate parents in the science of the brain and body. Parent education leads to a deeper understanding of how individual weaknesses in executive functioning impact emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships and academic performance.
We provide direct one on one coaching to school aged children.
