Program Description
Coaching can address your family’s unique needs as you strive toward a calm and connected home life while navigating your child’s learning needs.
We are happy to discuss issues including those related to: online learning, home schooling, IEP debriefing, in-school learning, executive functioning and organizational skills, advocating for your child in the school system, assisting your child with homework, strategies to reduce anxiety or stress related to learning, and more.
Our goal is to support you as you develop the knowledge, tools, and techniques to set your child up for success in school.
