What Connected Coaching is
Connected Coaching is weekly, one-on-one executive function coaching for students in grades 5 through college, with the parent kept in the loop the whole way. It's for the student who is bright and capable and still can't seem to start the essay, find the worksheet, or hand in the thing they already finished. ADHD, autism, anxiety, a learning difference, or some mix of those is usually part of the picture.
We don't tutor the subject. We build the skills that make school workable: planning backward from a due date, breaking a project into pieces, keeping track of what's owed, starting when it's time to start, and sticking with it once it gets boring. The coach your student works with has at least 8 to 10 years of experience with students and is trained one-on-one by Dr. Russell in the Connected Coaching method, with her supervision continuing for as long as they coach here.
