We specialize in Executive Dysfunction, ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia & other Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD). Direct, intensive, research-based methods are the TLC foundation, enabling students to make significant gains in reading, writing, math, attention, processing, working memory, and more.

We offer online coaching and tutoring as well, reaching students across the U.S. in need of an educational ally. Our mission and passion is to remove barriers to lifelong learning.

BrainMAPS Executive Function Coaching helps struggling students with executive dysfunction achieve long-lasting transformation and renewed confidence through customized 1:1 coaching with tailored exercises, in-depth evaluations and ongoing progress-monitoring.

School Coaching allows students to build independence, organization, time management, and study techniques that turn their struggles into strengths. Working collaboratively with parents, children, and schools, our team can craft an individualized plan that develops students’ abilities in a variety of academic “soft skills”.
